French Drain Installation: What to Know Before You Hire
A lot of basement moisture problems start above ground, with water pooling near the foundation after every rain because the yard doesn't drain away from the house. A French drain intercepts that water before it becomes a basement problem.
Professionals typically grade and route the drain based on how water actually moves across your property, not a generic straight line to the street.
What This Work Typically Includes
- Site assessment of water flow patterns
- Trenching and perforated pipe installation
- Gravel and filter fabric backfill
- Discharge point routed away from the foundation
