I am putting a french drain in my basement I bought 4 reforated PVC pipe with 2 holes one on each side. My question to you is the holes suppose to be facing up to the sky or facing the ground. Please respond ASAP. Thank You.YOU NEED SLOTTED NOT PERFERRATED. THAT IS SEPTIC FIELD LINE PIPE YOU HAVE A SEWAGE DISCHARGE PIPE NOT A FRENCH DRAIN INTAKE PIPE. YOU NEED SLOTTED PIPE, WITH SLITS ALL AROUND THE PIPE. THERE ALSO IS A FILTERING SOCK AVAILABLE THAT WILL PREVENT SOIL SEDIMENT FROM ENTERING THE PIPE.ADRYMAN
