A French drain is a subsurface drainage system designed to intercept and redirect groundwater and surface water away from your property. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel and filter fabric, installed in a sloped trench to guide water safely away from your foundation, basement, or landscaping.
Unlike traditional gutters and downspouts that only handle roof runoff, French drains address the root cause of water intrusion by managing groundwater and subsurface moisture. They're particularly effective in areas with poor soil drainage, high water tables, or properties prone to basement flooding and water damage.
French drains have been used for over a century and remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective drainage solutions available. When properly designed and installed by experienced professionals, they provide decades of trouble-free water management.
Water is collected through perforated pipes and directed away from your property through a sloped system.
No pumps or electricity required—gravity does the work, making it reliable and low-maintenance.
Effective for foundation drainage, basement waterproofing, yard drainage, and landscape protection.
Discover why French drains are the preferred solution for comprehensive property drainage and water management.
French drains intercept groundwater before it reaches your foundation, eliminating the primary cause of basement flooding and water intrusion. This permanent solution protects your property's structural integrity and prevents costly water damage.
French drains are passive systems that require no electricity or pumps. Once properly installed, they work reliably for decades with minimal maintenance. Unlike sump pumps that can fail, French drains operate silently and continuously.
French drains offer excellent value for long-term property protection. They're more affordable than many alternatives and eliminate the ongoing costs of sump pump maintenance, repairs, and electricity consumption.
Eliminate standing water, soggy yards, and poor drainage issues that damage landscaping and vegetation. French drains redirect water efficiently, allowing your yard to dry properly and supporting healthy plant growth.
Continuous moisture exposure weakens foundations over time. French drains keep groundwater away from your foundation, preventing settling, cracking, and structural damage that can be extremely costly to repair.
