Our clients come to us for French drains for a variety of reasons:

• Manage and redirect surface water and prevent it from pooling around foundations, driveways, patios, or other structures to prevent water damage and soil erosion.
• Basement Waterproofing: Installing French drains around the perimeter of a basement can collect and divert groundwater away from your foundation to protect against water damage.
• Preventing Soil Erosion: French drains are effective at preventing soil erosion by redirecting water flow and reducing the impact of heavy rainfall or runoff on sloped terrain. This helps stabilize the soil and prevents erosion-related issues such as landslides or sinkholes.
• Landscape Drainage: In landscaping, French drains are used to improve drainage in low-lying or poorly drained areas of the yard. They can help prevent waterlogging, soil compaction, and root rot in plants by facilitating the removal of excess water from the soil.
• Preventing Property Damage: Poor drainage around a property can lead to various types of damage, including foundation cracks, basement leaks, and landscape erosion. Installing French drains can help mitigate these risks and protect the integrity of the property.
