The 101 of French Drains

Water pooling on the surface of your property is an issue. It can create large pools of water and mud, which can lead to vehicles getting stuck, bugs and pests being attracted to your property, and damage to your home or business. Installing drainage systems on your property can alleviate these issues. One affordable drainage system is a French drain.

A French drain is a simple trench dug into the ground in the problem area(s). The trench is typically filled with a perforated pipe wrapped in a water-permeable fabric. The pipe is then covered with several layers of gravel. The drains use gravity to redirect the flow of water away from your property’s foundation. The water is naturally drawn towards the drainage system because of the stone, and it can then be redirected towards a municipal drain, rain barrel, or other suitable location.
