Ask Yourself:

  • Are my lawns soggy around your foundation?

  • Do you see water seeping through your foundation and into your basement?

  • Is the soil wet in your crawl space during or after it rains?

  • Is there water coming up through the garage floor?

  • Do I see or smell mold?

  • Do you have cracking concrete walkway, foundation or garage floor?

  • Is there white foam growing out of my concrete garage floor or on my foundation?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to consider installing a new drainage system.

What is a French Drain?

A French Drain installation is an effective solution designed to manage water drainage around your home or commercial building.

The installation process begins with digging a trench alongside the foundation. We then waterproof your foundation using three different waterproofing materials to ensure long-lasting protection. A black fabric is applied inside the trench to maintain cleanliness in the trench.

Next, drain rock is spread at the trench base to facilitate efficient drainage. A fabric wrapped 4-inch perforated PVC pipe with holes facing downward, is laid at the bottom of the trench. The trench is then back filled with additional drain rock, topped with soil or new concrete to complete the installation.

Why Address Drainage Problems?

Drainage issues should never be ignored. They might start small, but they can escalate quickly, leading to widespread damage and costly repairs. Whether it’s a soggy backyard lawn, wet foundations, chipped concrete, or ponding on patios or lawn areas, these signs indicate the need for a drainage system to redirect water away from your home. Most installations are completed in just 5-7 days.
