HOW INSTALLING A FRENCH DRAIN SYSTEM WORKS
Our expert drain contracting team makes sure to install your French drain optimally. First, we survey your landscape and foundation situation, including problematic water locations. Then, the route of the upcoming French drain system is mapped out to best drain future water from your yard.
A French drain uses perforated piping installed within a ditch or trench filled with gravel or rocks. This type of drainage solution is a very effective yard drainage system for water to flow through. Excessive water flows through this system and is distributed to a designated dry area. Drainage areas may include a street, drainage ditch, or a dry well.
Along with solving water drainage problems, a major cosmetic benefit to installing a French drain is its lack of visibility. They’re easy to disguise. French drainage systems solve water saturation problems without ruining the look of your lawn and landscape.
In addition to French Drains, we all install Surface Drains. For more information please contact us.
