A French drain that stops working lets water back up against the foundation. Here is the Livonia guide.
The clog
Silt and roots clog the perforated pipe over time, stopping the flow.
The signs
Water pooling near the foundation after rain, or a wet basement returning.
The fix
A pro can flush the line or, in severe cases, excavate and replace it.
The call
Restore the drainage. Call 888-217-3585 and Livonia Home Plumbing Co will match you with a Livonia pro.
