Claim 0:
1. A method for draining soil moisture at a site, the method comprising the steps of:
identifying an underground water source or water flow path at a site;
determining a specific depth and a specific angle for a secured pipe system to be installed underground at the site so as to penetrate through the water source or water flow path, from a point of origin at, near or above ground;
providing a plurality of steel pipes to the site, wherein a first of the plurality of pipes comprises a closed pointed tip at its proximal end, wherein one or more of the plurality of pipes has a perforated surface, and wherein the pipes have threaded surfaces at one or more ends to matingly engage the pipes one-to-another to form the secured pipe system;
constructing the secured pipe system by securing the first and other pipes at their threaded surfaces, and driving the secured pipe system underground from the point of origin and at the specific angle until the specific depth is reached, with a distal end of the secured pipe system extending above the surface of the ground;
coupling a canister to the distal end of the secured pipe system, the canister comprising a receptacle, an intake tube and an output tube, wherein the canister is coupled to the secured pipe system by securing the output tube to the distal end of the secured pipe system;
providing a mixture of gel and sand into the canister receptacle;
coupling a source of pressurized water to the intake tube of the canister and providing pressurized water to the mixture in the canister so that the mixture and water travel out the canister output tube, into and through the secured pipe system and the perforated surfaces of the secured pipe system, and are released into the ground at or near the water source or water flow path, flowing into cracks in the ground creating a sand and gel filled crack; and
decoupling the canister from the distal end of the secured pipe system, thereby allowing disintegrated gel and water accumulating over time in the ground to flow through the pipe perforations and the secured pipe system out the distal end thereof.
