A French drain is a gravel-wrapped perforated pipe installed in a trench that captures groundwater and surface runoff and channels it safely away from your home. Professionally installed French drains work even in heavy storms — keeping basements dry and yards usable.

Standing Water in the Yard

Cause: Compacted soil, low spots, or improper grading trap rainwater on the surface.

Solution: Re-grading with a French drain or catch basin to capture and redirect water.

Water Pooling Near the Foundation

Cause: Downspouts dumping next to the house and saturated soil pushing water against the foundation.

Solution: Buried downspout extensions, exterior foundation drains, and proper grading.

Wet or Flooded Basement

Cause: Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater that has nowhere else to go.

Solution: Perimeter drain tile, sump pump systems, and properly piped discharge lines.

Soggy Lawn or Dying Grass

Cause: Subsurface water saturation suffocating roots and breeding fungus.

Solution: Subsurface French drain network with strategically placed pop-up emitters.
