Sunbeam Construction – Trusted French Drain Installation in Lake Goodwin WA 98292

What Is French Drain Installation and How Does It Work?

A French drain is a simple, proven system that moves excess water away from your foundation, yard, or low spots. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by clean gravel and wrapped in landscape fabric. Water seeps into the gravel, enters the pipe through the holes, and flows downhill to a safe discharge point.

Homeowners and businesses install French drains for several common reasons. Standing water in the yard after rain, wet crawl spaces or basements, soggy lawns that never dry out, and foundation cracks from soil pressure are the most frequent problems we solve. When installed correctly, a French drain lowers the water table around your property and protects your home or commercial building for decades.

The process starts with planning the trench route and slope. Proper slope—usually about 1%—ensures gravity does the work. We then dig the trench, lay fabric, add washed rock, the perforated pipe, more rock, and wrap everything before backfilling with soil. The result looks like ordinary ground, but water quietly disappears beneath the surface.

Understanding Your French Drain Installation Needs

Every property has unique drainage challenges. Some yards slope the wrong way. Others have heavy soil that holds water like a sponge. Low spots collect runoff from roofs and driveways. Flower beds, patios, and walkways can all contribute to puddles that damage grass and attract mosquitoes.

Common solutions we install include:

• Perimeter French drains around foundations
• Curtain drains to intercept runoff before it reaches the house
• Yard drains and catch basins for flat or low areas
• Channel drains across driveways or walkways

We help you choose the system—or combination of systems—that fits your budget and solves the problem completely.
