French Drain for Health

A History of the French Drain in America written by industry expert Stephen F. Andras that discusses the subject of Early American cellar drainage and also today's modern methods of basement waterproofing. Steve traveled all over England, Scotland, Holland, Canada and the United States researching the history of cellar drainage. This book was written so homeowners and contractors can be throughly educated about the reasons Henry Flagg French drained two of his farmhouses. Steve shows clearly that he did so because he wanted the people living above them to be healthy. Great lessons from the 1860's for people today. Steve tells a great story about the small wooden heart on the cover.
