I am thinking of installing some around my house. I have a crawl space and for the most part it stays dry other than after a torrential rain, then one side of it get water in it.
I have read conflicting things on where exactly they should be placed. Seve ral say right up against the foundation. I read in one place however that t he drain should be 4-6 feet away from the foundation and that you are actua lly inviting more water by placing it against the foundation due to the hyd rostatic action of the soil.
Was wonder which was right and will it make a big difference?
