Could anyone give me advice regarding installation of a perimeter drain that will transition from a crawl space to a partial basement? I’m unsure how to make the transition from the higher elevation at the crawl space footing to the lower one at the basement. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar question. Crawl space footing is 2'-0" above the garage footing. Routing a perimeter drain from the crawl to the garage footing.
Just run it down the wall and tee into the lower level drain. This "down leader" should be at each end and the lower level drain tile should be installed between the down leaders. Sump pit goes on the lowest level.
