French Drain Installation

HELP FRENCH DRAIN INSTALLATIOn?

I have a problem with water comin in garage and corner of basement. I am goin to put in a french drain system. I have a current drain system at the front of the house but the back and sides of the house are the real problem….the ground it sloped toward house and attatched garage on every side except front. In the back where the house extends farther than the garage is an approximate 10′x10′x6″ concrete slab/patio. Water ponds on here real bad because is it below groundlevel approximately 4 inches below dirt around it…i will somehow need to cut through that and put the pipe in…where the garage is i was thinking about puttin system right on wall…..20″ deep….because the concrete the garage is on is only 6″thick….i know about all the basic way to install a french drain……but i would like pointers…stuff to stay away from…how far from house do i put drain….holes in pipe up or down? i was told down but that doesnt make sense.. Im doin approx 150′ total length system.

holes down makes perfect sense…it drains water out and wont let dirt in…
