Proper exterior drainage is key to a dry basement and stable foundation. Watch for these warning signs:
Foundation Water Problems
Water accumulation around your foundation, persistent basement moisture, or visible cracks and efflorescence (white stains) on foundation walls.
Yard Drainage Problems
Large puddles or standing water in your yard after rain, soggy lawn areas that never dry, or water flowing directly toward your home.
Water Damage to Landscaping
Erosion around your property, waterlogged gardens, or settling and cracking of driveways and sidewalks due to water saturation.
Our French Drain Installation Process
A properly installed French drain provides a permanent solution to exterior water problems.
Site Assessment and Design
We evaluate water flow patterns, soil conditions and your property's specific needs to design the optimal drainage solution.
Professional Excavation and Installation
Careful excavation with proper slope, followed by installation of high-quality perforated pipes, geotextile fabric and clean drainage gravel.
System Connection and Restoration
We connect the system to an appropriate discharge point (such as a sump pump or storm sewer), backfill the trench and restore the surface landscaping.
Frequently Asked Questions
A French drain is an underground drainage system designed to divert water away from your foundation. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel and geotextile fabric that collects and redirects water away from your home. You need one if you notice water accumulating near your foundation, basement moisture, cracks in foundation walls, or soggy areas in your yard that never dry.
The cost of French drain installation varies depending on several factors: the length of system needed, required excavation depth, site accessibility, soil type, and water discharge point. We offer free assessments and detailed quotes to give you an exact price based on your specific situation.
French drain installation typically takes between 1 and 3 days depending on project size and site conditions. For a typical residential home, we can complete installation in 1-2 days including excavation, complete drainage system installation, and landscape restoration. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality installation that will protect your foundation for decades.
