Drainage systems

1. Surface Drainage System
Includes gutters, downspouts, and surface drains.
Directs rainwater away from the house foundation.
2. Subsurface Drainage System
Uses underground pipes (French drains, weeping tiles) to prevent water accumulation.
Installed around the foundation to avoid basement flooding.
3. Slope and Grading
Ensures proper ground slope so water flows away from the house.
4. Stormwater Drainage
Collects rainwater and directs it to a municipal drainage system or soakaway pit.
5. Septic and Sewer Systems
Handles wastewater from bathrooms and kitchens.
Needs proper venting and maintenance to prevent blockages.
