Foundation drainage work typically involves installing systems such as drain tiles, sump pumps, and perforated piping around the foundation to direct water away from the structure. The process may include excavating around the foundation, placing drainage materials, and ensuring proper grading to prevent water accumulation. When evaluating requests, details such as the type of foundation, soil conditions, existing drainage issues, the extent of excavation required, and the proposed drainage methods are important to determine the scope, feasibility, and cost of the work.
