What Is a French Drain and How Does It Work?

A French drain is a simple, proven system that moves excess water away from your home or building. It starts with a perforated pipe placed in a sloped trench. Clean gravel or rock surrounds the pipe so water can flow in easily. A layer of filter fabric keeps soil from clogging the system over time.

Water enters the perforations, travels downhill inside the pipe, and exits far away from the foundation. This keeps basements and crawl spaces dry, stops soggy lawns, and protects landscaping. French drains work with gravity, so no pumps or electricity are needed in most cases.

Homeowners often choose French drains for foundation protection, yard drainage, or retaining wall relief. Businesses use them around parking lots, warehouses, and commercial landscaping. Properly installed systems can solve standing water problems for decades.

What to Expect When You Choose Us for Your French Drain Installation Needs

First, we listen. You tell us where the water problem is and what you’ve noticed. Next, we visit the property, look at grading, downspouts, and soil conditions, and explain options in plain language.

After you approve the plan, our crew arrives on time and keeps the site as neat as possible. We dig the trench to the correct slope, install high-quality perforated pipe, surround it with washed rock, wrap everything in fabric, and backfill carefully. The goal is to leave your yard looking great and working even better.

Throughout the job, we stay in touch. Questions are always welcome. When we’re done, we walk the system with you and make sure everything flows exactly as it should.

Understanding Your French Drain Installation Needs

Every property is different. Some homes need a simple curtain drain around the foundation. Others need a full yard regrade with multiple lines tying into daylight or a sump pump. Common signs you might need help include:

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

We look at the whole picture – roof runoff, driveway flow, neighboring properties, and natural low spots. This helps us design a system that solves the problem completely instead of just moving water somewhere else on your lot.
