Drainage Questions for the house.
Attached is the layout of my house landscape. Each contour is 6 inches. We have some decent drainage issues around our house. I just installed new gutters but there is also a decent change in elevation [talking 4'ft rise over 20 - 30ft distance and the North and East sides of our and 1-2 feet decent on the South West side of the house]. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the grading makes water sit around the foundation. Not worried about much freezing (central texas).
I'm thinking french drains are the way to go BUT I am confused about what type of piping to use. I feel like I can use perforated to get the runnoff from the hills running East to west. Is it ok if I run solid corrigated pipe to those preforated pipes and join the two or do I need two separate drains to make runoff to the West of the house? Thinking of putting the french drain 10feet or so from the house and all will be DIY. Any input is greatly appreciated!
