Waterproofing & Drywell Pros

A drywell is a subterranean chamber next to a building that is used to collect rainwater runoff from the roof. Drywells help avoid soil erosion with gravel or stones in the bottom of the pit or chamber for better drainage. They are a way to help waterproof your basement, keeping it from flooding during heavy rain. Drywells are typically made from tall concrete cylinders or bricks with holes for drainage and installation can be done by most construction companies. While they used to be installed as part of septic systems, they are now most often used for the disposal of surface water.
