Sunbeam Construction – Trusted French Drain Installation in Silvana WA 98292

What Is a French Drain and How Does It Work?

A French drain is a simple, effective drainage system that redirects excess water away from your home or business. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, installed in a sloped trench. Water enters the pipe through the holes, then flows safely downhill to a designated exit point.

Homeowners and businesses use French drains to protect foundations, basements, crawl spaces, and landscaping from water damage. They work well around retaining walls, low spots in yards, and areas where runoff collects. Properly installed, these systems prevent soggy lawns, muddy driveways, and structural issues caused by standing water.

We install several types of drainage solutions that function like French drains, including drain tile, lawn drains, yard drainage systems, field drains, rock drains, and landscape drains. Each option fits different property layouts and water volumes. The goal stays the same: move water away quickly and quietly so your property stays dry and healthy.

Understanding Your French Drain Installation Needs

Every property handles water differently. Some yards slope gently and only need surface grading plus a simple drain. Others have heavy clay soil or high groundwater that requires deeper systems with sump pumps. We help you figure out which approach fits your budget and solves the problem long-term.

Common signs you need professional help include:

• Water in the basement or crawl space after rain
• Soggy spots in the yard that never dry
• Foundation cracks or sticking doors
• Mosquito breeding areas from standing water
• Erosion washing away mulch or soil

Addressing these issues early saves money and prevents bigger repairs later.
