Anyone taken on doing a drainage system for a house? Hard finding quality info as most people are trying to sell something.

When you say drainage for a house, do you mean waste water or exterior rain water run off?

That looks nice.
We just have a groove carved into the edges of the floor where it meets the wall, and then a couple lines are carved from the wall to the drain in the middle and all water flows like that.

referring to water penetrating a foundation from hydrostatic pressure/earth heave.

It's almost straight forward. You need subsoil drainage pipe. Most of it these days is that PVC plastic 4" stuff with perforations in it. Dig your trench where you want it, you should have it roughly in relation to your main drainage point/sewer main, ie, no lower than.
I mean the picture you've posted is pretty much what you're doing. However, I wouldn't recommend this type of set up if you're planning on draining from concrete. It's more for where theres land mass/soil/gardens

This>>1009203 is the wrong way to do it. It's the cheaper and lazier way, because you don't need to excavate the entire foundation. The proper way is to tar the foundation, or waterproof it in some other way, then apply dimple board or roxul (I prefer dimple board). This creates a gap between soil and concrete removing any hydrostatic pressure. The you put that 4" filtersocked drainage pipe around the footing, covered in drainage stone, and either run it to a sump pit in the basement, or if you were on a hill you could drain it away from the house

Here is what I did last year in a 2' mudfloor crawlspace:
>dug trench to expose entire footing
>applied blue skin tar paper to footing and major breach
>filled major breach with spray foam
>dug 7 1/2 foot hole in lowest corner of crawlspace
>lined hole with geotextile
>stole 12" green pvc pipe from random sewer/water jobsit
>drilled 3/8" holes all over, uniform spacing
>wrapped pipe in geotextile
>put pipe in hole
>kept it level ad I filled around it with clean 1/4" granite gravel
>laid geotextile in trench around perimeter of crawlspace
>installed normal 1/3 hp submersible pump in pipe, cored a hole through foundation wall to run garden hose to street
Total cost was around $600 dollars, I just plug the pump in when it rains. Just picked up a bag to collect moisture, which will drain into the pipe. Shit works great senpai

Why does this board always change (f-a-m) to (senpai)
