Save Your Brick Veneer From Weeping Tears: Master the Open French Drain!

Have you ever seen beautiful brick veneer marred by ugly cracks, crumbling edges, and telltale signs of moisture? That's the dreaded "brick weeps" in action, a silent tear-streaming enemy of your home's exterior elegance and structural integrity. In this short video, we'll be your drainage hero, wielding the mighty Open French Drain as our weapon to rescue weeping brick and restore your home's crown jewel to radiant health.

The Weeping Woes:

Imagine watching your brick veneer slowly succumb to moisture's silent siege. Rainwater trapped against the house, absorbed by the brick like a thirsty sponge, and migrating through the mortar like a hidden river – that's the recipe for brick weeps. The consequences? Crumbling bricks, cracked mortar, and worse, potentially damaging water infiltration into your precious home.

A Case in Point:

Our video unfolds the story of a homeowner grappling with the aftermath of rampant weeps. We witness the damage firsthand: replaced brick layers, disintegrated mortar, and a backyard patio trapping water against the vulnerable wall. It's a cautionary tale, but one with a happy ending, thanks to the Open French Drain.

The Open French Drain to the Rescue:

This video isn't just about showcasing the damage; it's about empowerment. We unveil the Open French Drain – a trench filled with gravel and perforated pipe, strategically placed to intercept the water before it reaches your brick. Like a loyal knight diverting a siege, the drain channels the water away from the house, protecting your veneer and foundation.

Witness the Transformation:

Watch as we transform the homeowner's soggy battlefield into a dry and protected fortress. We'll show you:

Swaling the ground: Creating a gentle slope to guide water towards the trench.

Installing the gravel and pipe: The drainage heroes in action, capturing every drop.

Connecting the dots: Extending the drain to a safe discharge point, be it a storm drain or a distant corner of your yard.

The invisible shield: Witness the finished product – a seamless integration of the drain into the landscape, barely noticeable but offering unmatched protection.

More Than Just Bricks:

While brick weeps are our focus, the Open French Drain's benefits extend far beyond. It protects your foundation from water damage, prevents basement flooding, and even safeguards landscaping elements like beloved Arborvitaes from being uprooted. It's an investment in your home's overall health and longevity.

Don't Let Weeps Win:

Remember, ignoring brick weeps is like inviting disaster to tea. Don't wait until your bricks start crying out for help. Take action and become a drainage warrior! This video equips you with the knowledge to:

Identify the signs of brick weeps: Be your home's Sherlock Holmes of moisture.
