This blog post will walk you through what you need to do to ensure the proper installation and functionality of your drainage system. By the end of this post, you will know what is needed to install an in-ground drainage system. It can help you manage the water and ensure your home is kept dry.

Time

If your lawn or garden suffers from water issues, you should consider installing an irrigation system. In most cases, it takes 1 to 5 days. The time it takes to complete a drainage installation will hinge on the complexity of the drainage system you are installing. A basic in-ground drainage system can often take a day to complete. More complex drainage systems can take up to 5 days to complete.

Complexity

Beginner to intermediate. One of the biggest factors when determining the complexity of an in-ground drainage system is the slope of your garden. Simple in-ground drainage systems can be done if a yard slants down and away from the house. A more complex drainage system that includes pumps and additional pipes will be needed if you have what is called a “fishbowl” yard, which is when the surrounding ground slopes down toward your house.

Cost

The cost of such projects can vary greatly. The high-end part of this estimate will include the likes of concrete catch basins and other expensive components.
