Acceptable French Drain?
I’ve just paid a damp company to add french drains to my house. I’ve just dug out the shingle and discovered that there is no perforated pipe. I’ve reviewed the quote and it references french drains, minimum 15 cm below the external damp proofing. It says filled with shingle. No other detail. Would it be normal to expect a perforated pipe in a french drain? I’ve attached one pic of where I’ve dug out the shingle. I dug the tench myself, they’ve just filled it with shingle. I could have done that myself. Do I have a valid complaint? Thanks. submitted by /u/Exact_Union5713 [link] [comments]
