Curtain French Drain Tip from Veteran Contractor

Many times when we do a curtain French drain we take some of the dirt from the French drain and we put it up against the house.

You want to slope the water away from the footing of the house - the foundation of the house or the basement wall. You want to slope it towards your French drain system and create a situation where the water can't really make it up to the house anymore and you're catching it in your curtain French drain.

Not trying to be a know it all but for the ones that don’t know you have to be careful putting dirt up to the house bc it can rot the wall and also cause water to enter the house you typically want it 2 to 3 in below the top of the slab

what do you do if the yard slopes towards the house or there is very little slope from the house? House on a monolithic slab.

Can i put dirt on the brick part of the house? Maybe witb a plastic membrane in-between the brick and dirt? If i dont then there will be almost no slope and bringing down the dirt further from the house is not really an option for me. Thanks.

Nice grading should be enough, without tge needs of gutters, French drain, sump oump or nothing, i believe if a house have a nice grading yard thats all it takes to resolve water problem.

It really looks like you have dirt touching the siding. If so, this is a problem. This just makes a bridge for insects and specifically termites...

Would you ever dig out 2 feet of foundation just to paint it with rubberized water repellent? 😊

Best to put concrete all the way around

That is going to cause rot on the house. Why not do a foundation drain and waterproof the foundation at the same time instead of a curtain drain?
