Important Things To Consider
A French drain, also known as a sub-surface drain, is a great way to divert water away from the foundation of your home or another structure. Itโs an underground piping system with a perforated layer and gravel to help drain water away from your property. Here we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about French drains.
What Is A French Drain System?
In French drains, gravel or rocks divert water from an area. It is typically lined with a filter fabric to keep out soil and silt.
The bottom of the drain may be sloped slightly towards one end so that the water collects in the lower part of the trench before itโs directed away from the area.
This type of drain is also often called a curtain drain or perimeter drain because itโs usually installed at the perimeter of a structure.
How Does A French Drain Work?
The basic idea behind traditional French drain is simple: excess water enters through the perforated pipes, travels down into the drainpipe, and exits through an outlet or sump pump system.
This allows any standing pools of water around your house or yard to be quickly drained away with minimal effort on your part.
Additionally, because the entire system is underground, itโs relatively inconspicuous and wonโt take up any valuable space above ground.
What Are The Benefits Of French Drain Installation?
Installing a French drain helps you avoid issues like flooding and water pooling around your home or other structure.
It prevents damage to the foundation caused by water seeping in and causing rot, mold, or mildew. This can save you money on costly repairs in the future.
Additionally, it can help you keep your yard looking neat and tidy by reducing areas where grass wonโt grow due to standing water.
How Do I Know If I Need A French Drain?
If there are areas near your home where water pools after it rains or melting snow and ice, you may need a French drain to divert that excess moisture away from your property.
You may also want to consider installing one if there is evidence of water damage inside or outside of your home (such as cracking paint).
Additionally, if there are areas that are difficult to mow because of excessive moisture then this could be an indication that you need a French drain installed.
Do I Need To Hire A Professional To Install My French Drain?
The installation process for a French drain can be quite involved and itโs best left up to experienced professionals with the tools and expertise necessary for the job.
Hiring a professional ensures that the job is done correctly so that it functions properly over time without any issues popping up down the road.

Frequently
Asked Questions
A perforated pipe is a special type of pipe that has small holes around its circumference. This type of pipe is commonly used in French drains because the holes allow water to enter the pipe and be carried away from the area where it collects.
It also allows dirt and debris to enter the pipe, which works as an additional filter for any sediment that may have gotten into the water.
The key benefit of using these types of pipes is that they are more efficient than traditional drainage systems, allowing for better water flow and less clogging over time.
In most cases, yes – if you want your French drain to be effective at diverting water away from your home or property then you will need to install a sump pump at one end of the drain pipe.
The sump pump collects all of the collected water and pumps it away from your property so that it does not cause any problems like flooding or erosion.
Itโs important to clean your French drain regularly to ensure that it continues functioning properly for years to come. The frequency with which you should clean your drain will depend on its location and how much debris has accumulated over time.
Generally speaking, however, you should aim to clean it every few months or so to keep things running smoothly.ย ย
