We will construct a drainage system along a 40 feet long portion of the left, and the entire rear and right sides of your home. The starting depth for the system will be 3 feet and will slope a minimum of 1/8 inch per foot for the entire length. We will remove and replace the existing wood deck boards as necessary to install the drain. If new boards are needed, there will be additional costs for materials only. The system will discharge through a 4 inch solid pipe across your right side yard and through the curb to the street. Landscaping repair or replacement is not included. Complete specifications to be included with the contract.

We will construct a drainage system along a 40 feet long portion of the left, and the entire rear and right sides of your home. The starting depth for the system will be 3 feet.

The drainage system consists of two pipes in a rock filled trench.  One is perforated, to collect sub-surface water and the other is non-perforated, to collect water from the roof downspouts.  At the upper end or start of both lines, as well as at the major corners, a clean-out will be provided so that both lines can be tested or cleaned as necessary. 

The minimum depth for the perforated pipe will be below the grade of the soil under the house adjacent the trench and both the perforated and non-perforated pipe will fall at least 1/8 inch per foot for the total length of the system to the point of discharge.
     
The perforated pipe will be installed on top of a bed of gravel, two inches deep, with the perforations pointed down.  The trench will then be then backfilled with drain rock.  The rock we recommend is Class I, Permeable Type A drain rock per the California State Specifications.  The drain rock is clean gravel that varies in size from 1/4 to 1/2 inch. 
     
The trench will be a minimum of 12 inches wide.  This permits a four inch blanket of rock on each side of the four inch perforated pipe.

The system will discharge through a 4 inch solid pipe across your right side yard and through the curb to the street. We will extend the existing drain pipe located at the left side of your driveway through the curb to the street as well.

Landscaping repair or replacement is not included. Plants along the path of the drain you wish saved should be removed prior to the start of work.

We will construct a drainage system along the right, rear, and approximately one half of the left side of your home. The starting depth for the system will be 3 feet. The system will discharge into a sump located near where the existing sump line comes out from under the house. The water from the sump will be pumped into the existing downspout line that flows towards the street. We will remove and replace a strip of bricks along the rear as necessary to install the drain.

We will construct a drainage system around your entire home with the exception of the garage. The system will be comprised of 2 legs, each meeting near the right rear corner. The starting depth for each leg will be 3 feet. We will remove and replace a strip of concrete along the left, rear, and right sides. The system will discharge through a 4 inch solid pipe across your side yard to the right side slope. This system will carry sub-surface water only, the downspout and surface drainage system will be left intact. Complete specifications to be included with the contract.

We will remove and replace a strip of concrete along the left, rear, and right sides.
We will replace all the concrete removed with concrete to match the existing as close as we can, but it will still be noticeably different.  It is impossible for the new concrete to exactly match the old.

We will remove and replace all 8 adjustable steel jacks located in your sub-area. The new jacks will be secured to new 18 inch diameter by 12 inch deep concrete pads.

We will run a new 4 inch solid pipe from the surface drain located at the street to where the existing pipe goes underground near the left side of your home. The new pipe will be set into a new trench at least 18 inches deep then backfilled and compacted with native soils.

We will remove and replace a strip of asphalt across your driveway and install a 4 inch wide by 18 feet long channel drain. The channel drain will discharge through a 4 inch solid pipe along the left side of your garage to the existing concrete V ditch. We will connect the downspouts along the left side into the system.

      We will construct a drainage system along the front and right sides of your home. The system will consist of a sub-drain dug as deep as possible while discharging into the rear V ditch and 5 concrete surface drains.
     

We will construct a drainage system along the brick portion of the front of the unit, and a 4 feet long portion of the left side, (the left side portion will be constructed in the courtyard of unit 1196 ). The system will consist of a 4-inch perforated pipe set in a rock filled trench 18 inches deep to collect sub-surface water, and a 4-inch solid pipe to collect the 2 downspouts and 1 new surface drain to be set into the brick patio. The system will discharge through the 4 inch solid pipe beneath the brick patio and connect to the existing storm drain pipe that runs along the outside of the courtyard. We will remove and replace the bricks as necessary.

We will construct a drainage system along the brick portion of the front of the unit, and a 4 feet long portion of the left side, (the left side portion will be constructed in the courtyard of unit 1196 and it will be up to owner to obtain permission for us to work on the neighbor’s property). The system will consist of a 4-inch perforated pipe set in a rock filled trench 18 inches deep to collect sub-surface water, and a 4-inch solid pipe to collect the 2 downspouts and 1 new surface drain to be set into the brick patio. The system will discharge through the 4 inch solid pipe beneath the brick patio and connect to the existing storm drain pipe that runs along the outside of the courtyard. We will remove and replace the bricks as necessary.

If for any reason we can not connect to the existing storm drain directly in front of the courtyard as planned, additional costs will be incurred.

This system will intercept any surface or sub-surface water that enters the unit in the area where the work is to be performed, but it will not stop any water that enters above ground.
