What is a French Drain?
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock that contains a perforated pipe, designed to channel water away from your property. By allowing water to flow through the gravel and into the pipe, the system redirects it to a safe discharge point, preventing pooling or flooding around your home.

How Does a French Drain Work?
French drains are designed to remove standing water from areas around your property. They consist of a trench, typically filled with gravel, and a perforated pipe that collects and redirects water away from problem areas. The gravel acts as a filter, while the pipe ensures that water flows out to a safe discharge location, such as a storm drain or a designated runoff area.
Types of French Drains
-
Interior French Drains: Often installed inside basements to manage groundwater and prevent flooding.
-
Exterior French Drains: Ideal for gardens, driveways, and the perimeter of your home to handle surface water and prevent foundation damage.
-
Trench Drains: A type of French drain used to capture and redirect water runoff from hard surfaces, like driveways and patios.
