French Drains:
Our French drain installation services help protect basements and foundations from water intrusion, excess moisture, poor drainage, and recurring flooding problems.
A properly installed French drain can help move water away from your home, reduce basement moisture, prevent standing water, and protect your foundation from long-term water damage. If your basement is damp, your yard has drainage issues, or water is entering your home during heavy rain, a French drain system may be the right solution.
How French Drains Are Installed
French drains are commonly installed around a home’s foundation in two main ways:
- Exterior French drains are buried around the outside of the foundation wall to help redirect water away from the home before it reaches the basement.
- Interior French drains are installed underneath the basement floor along the inside perimeter of the basement to collect and move water away from the foundation.
Both systems are designed to reduce water intrusion, control moisture, and help protect your basement and foundation from ongoing drainage problems.
French Drains for Water Management
French drains can also help direct water toward approved drainage areas, rain gardens, dry wells, or other water management solutions when appropriate for the property. By moving water away from problem areas, a French drain can help reduce pooling, soil saturation, basement seepage, and long-term moisture issues around the home.
