unbeam Construction – Trusted French Drain Installation in Gold Bar WA 98251

What Is French Drain Installation and How Does It Work?

A French drain is a simple, proven way to move excess water away from your foundation, yard, or low spots on your property. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, placed in a sloped trench. Water naturally flows into the pipe, then gets carried safely away from the area you want to keep dry.

Homeowners and businesses use French drains to stop basement flooding, protect foundations, fix soggy lawns, and prevent water from pooling near walkways or driveways. We also install surface variations such as lawn drains, landscape drains, rock drains, and rock drains when the water problem is closer to the surface.

Proper installation matters more than most people realize. The trench must have the right slope, the pipe needs a fabric sleeve to prevent clogging, and the gravel has to be clean and correctly sized. When everything is done correctly, these systems work quietly for many years with almost no maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does French drain installation normally take? Most residential projects are completed in 1–3 days, depending on the scope and weather conditions.

Do French drains really need maintenance? When installed correctly with clean gravel and fabric, they require very little maintenance—usually just keeping the outlet clear of leaves.

Can you install a French drain in winter? Yes, we work year-round as long as the ground isn’t frozen solid.

Will a French drain lower my water bill or help my septic system? By keeping excess water away from the drain field, it can reduce strain on septic systems, though it doesn’t directly affect water bills.

Is a French drain the same as a trench drain or curb drain? No. French drains are subsurface and hidden. Trench drains and curb drains are surface systems, usually with a visible grate.

How do I know if I need a French drain or just regrading? We’re happy to take a look and let you know which option—or combination—will solve the problem the right way.
