Segmented Pipe Method
Advantages
Disadvantages
  • Sits on top of footer away from dirt
  • Requires less concrete breakout
  • The gravel used with this system may eventually clog the system
  • Water can only enter from one side of the pipe
  • Large amounts of water may overtake the system
  • 3/4 of the pipe is closed to water entering the pipe
  • The segmented pipe must be coupled together at increments to cover the length of the wall — the system can clog at these points
