Why is interior drainage systems needed so often in Girard?
Girard homes on hillside streets above the Mahoning River are mostly early to mid-1900s masonry or block basements, and clogged gutters with short downspouts send water straight to the footer. Once old drain tile fails, water seeps in at the floor edge.
How is interior drainage systems done in Girard homes?
An interior perimeter drain with a sump collects that water where it enters, and it's often paired with gutter and downspout fixes outside.

Because many Girard lots slope toward the house, cleaning gutters and extending downspouts before installing a drain lowers how hard the system has to work. The sump discharge should be routed downhill and away from the foundation so the same water doesn't return to the footer.
