Thanks, Mike!
Does the drain need to be sloped in one direction to facilitate water flow, or does the pressure from in-coming water get the job done? I'm guessing the trench needs to be fairly level at the very least.
Also, is water supposed to only flow out one end? Or both?
Thank you!
The desire is for the lateral line to catch the water . . . it depends on the orientation of things but often times there will be a line perpendicular to this trench taking the water away (T Shaped) . . . or you can just continue to trench towards a lower area to let the water drain elsewhere.
With any drainage you need pitch on the drain to move the water.
