Since 1993 we have gained a lot of experience addressing drainage problems. Drainage problems can be complicated. The solution is not always clear to the untrained eye. CMG has redone or overhauled many drainage systems that were installed by, "weekend warriors, a brother-in-law, or a landscaping company that also installs drains." They all can install Drainage Systems, Just not very well. CMG has over 20 years of experience Diagnosing Drainage Problems. This ensures that a Drainage System that we install won't have Drain Pipes that are too small, or Surface Drains installed where French Drains Should be placed, or Exit Points that allow water to Stand and become stagnant. The above examples are just three of many "Pit - Falls" that our experienced Drainage System Experts can easily avoid.

Its spring again and already its hot and dry. If you have been thinking of installing a new Lawn Sprinkler System, CMG can help. We have installed Sprinkler Systems since 1993. CMG designed Sprinkler Systems are self draining and fully automatic. We can install any brand of sprinkler parts available, but we prefer "Rain Bird or Hunter." CMG can also install Rain/Freeze Sensors on new or existing Sprinkler Systems.

From time to time CMG Service Experts must work on a sprinkler system that we installed. Usually it is for reasons beyond our control like, "lightning burning up a sprinkler controller" or, "a customer running over a sprinkler head with their car."
CMG designed sprinkler systems are fully automatic and self-draining. When the sprinklers are not running, the system automatically drains the sprinkler pipes under ground. If it gets cold there is no water in the sprinkler pipes to freeze.
Just what is a "French Drain?" Many times people incorrectly
- A French Drain can protect your foundation!
A Surface Drainhas a grate that sits on top of a basin. The basin is underground. A Drain Pipe is connected underground to an outlet on the Drain Basin. Storm-Water Drains through the grate into the Drain Basin. Once in the Drain Basin, water travels out of the basin through a Drain Pipe. The Storm-Water continues downhill in an underground Drain Pipe to an exit point.
THIS IS NOT A FRENCH DRAIN!
A Surface Drain may come in many different shapes or sizes. The Drain Gratemay be round or square. Here is a picture of a common Surface Drain.
A Channel Drainis a type of Surface Drain and many times is installed in concrete across sidewalks or driveways.
A French Drain is completely different from a Surface Drain. A basic French Drain consists of a Perforated Drain Pipe in the bottom of a trench. The Drain Pipe should have a neoprene sock around the Perforated Drain Pipe. This is to ensure that the Drain Pipe does not become clogged.
The dirt that was taken out to make the trench is hauled away. It is replaced by some type of small stone or gravel depending on what is desired or available. I prefer crushed 1 inch lime stone. It is the most economical option in my area. Pea Gravel or some other type of small stone can work just as well. The lime-stone or gravel is placed in the trench on top of the perforated Drain Pipe and filled all the way to the surface (ground level). In some cases where the French Drainneeds to be deep or is being placed in sandy soil, a special trench liner must be placed in the trench before the perforated Drain Pipeor the Gravel are installed. This helps maintain the integrity of the trench over time. It also increases the cost of the French Drain and the amount of time to install it. I install a trench liner in a French Drain about 20% of the time. Most of the time a liner in not needed.

A French Drain is designed to handle a large volume of water and cover a large area. The Drain is anyplace the trench goes. It has many applications and can be used in many situations. It can be installed by itself or incorporated into a Drainage Systemwith Surface Drainsor Gutter Down-Spouts connected to it.
The main downfall of a French Drain is that they, for the most part aren't very pretty. They don't look very nice in a yard once they are completed.
Depending on the area the French Drain is installed and the type of grass around the French Drain, will dictate whether grass grows over the lime stone. Grass can grow up and through the gravel in the French Drainover time eventually covering the gravel. This is Ok. It won't have a measurable effect on the performance of the drain.
DONT COVER THE GRAVEL IN THE FRENCH DRAINWITH DIRT. THE FRENCH DRAIN WON'T WORK IF THE TRENCH IS CLOGGED WITH DIRT. DON'T EVEN INSTALL IT IF YOU ARE GOING TO COVER IT UP WITH DIRT.
DECORATIVE STONE CAN BE USED TO COVER A FRENCH DRAIN AND THEY LOOK GREAT AND LAST A LIFETIME.
