A dry summer house is a happy summer house. Moisture can have serious consequences on the quality and lifespan of your summer house. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your summer house’s foundation is kept dry and protected from moisture. One of the most effective solutions to get rid of excess moisture around your summer house is by installing a drain system around the foundation.

A drain around the summer house works by diverting excess water away from the foundation and preventing it from seeping into the ground. It’s essentially a buried gutter that runs along the plinth and outer wall of the summer house, absorbing any excess water during heavy rainfall or snowmelt. The drain leads the excess water to a pump well via a sand trap well, keeping it separate from sewage and rainwater.

Installing a drain around your summer house offers several benefits. Firstly, it prevents moisture and water from seeping into the foundation, which can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and a damp environment. Secondly, it protects your summer house’s insulation and keeps it dry, which can help save energy costs in the long run. Additionally, a drain system can prevent flooding in your basement or crawlspace during heavy rainfall.
