Default French Drain through Load Bearing Wall?

if your asking about a 2 or 3 inch drain line thru a concrete load
bearing wall thats common and wouldnt effect the wall strength.

around here interior french drains between sides of load bearing walls
are dug under the footer. its no trouble water finds its own level.

you should try for a gravity drain to daylight if at all possible, so
power outages and pump failures never can cause a flood.........
