FAQs
- What’s a French drain?
A trench with perforated pipe wrapped in fabric and gravel that intercepts groundwater and redirects it to a safe outlet. - Will this fix water in my basement?
Exterior drainage often helps, but interior waterproofing may be needed for severe cases—we’ll advise honestly. - Where does the water go?
To a safe discharge: a pop-up emitter, daylight slope, dry well, or approved storm connection (where allowed). - Do I need permits?
Small residential drains typically don’t; if local code requires it, we’ll handle the paperwork. - How is the yard left afterward?
Trenches are backfilled, compacted, and re-sodded/seeded as needed; beds are restored neatly. - How long does it last?
With proper installation and occasional maintenance, many systems perform for decades. - Maintenance?
Annual checks to clear leaves from basins and flush cleanouts help maximize performance.
