Drainage Systems
French Drain
A French drain may be a solution to redirect water if you have standing groundwater on your property. This can help keep water out of your foundation and eventually your basement. While this is not a complete cure all for all potential water problems, a French drain can be a good solution if water gathers on your yard near your foundation and does not drain properly.
Standing groundwater is usually a problem when grading is not constructed properly around your home. If the slope is not correct, ground water will collect near or run towards your home’s foundation. This can be detrimental in more than one way. The most obvious is that this water can infiltrate your basement causing damp conditions if not thoroughly flooding your basement at times. In addition, and usually less obvious until major damage has occurred, this water can actually undermine the integrity of your foundation walls. At this point, your whole house is in jeopardy, not just your basement.


A French drain is constructed by digging a trench in the ground and then filling the trench with a filter material such as loose gravel or porous pipe covered with gravel. The trench is dug in such a way that gravity will pull the water away from your foundation to some other point on your property or even to a city drainage system. It is important to consult city and/or county building codes to determine proper termination of the French drain.
So, if groundwater is a problem for you and your property, a French drain just might be the way to go for you.
