Types Of French Drain Installation

French drains are a great way to help manage water around your home or property, as they can be strategically placed around concrete foundations to help prevent basement flooding and water leak from occurring. This type of drainage installation does not always require a large excavation process, as these different types of French drains can accommodate a variety of situations.

There are three main types of French drains – interior foundation systems, perimeter systems, and external exterior systems.ย 

  • Interior foundation systems are usually installed on the inner part of the structureโ€™s existing retaining wall and are designed to contain water seepage or runoff from within an area.
  • Perimeter systems accomplish this goal too, but from outside the building instead. These run along the edge of any concrete foundation walls or basement concrete slabs in order to divert any incoming moisture away from the buildingโ€™s pressure walls and windows.ย 
  • On the other hand, it is also possible to install an external system that helps redirect runoff more in areas where nearby structures may obstruct natural drainage channels.

How Long Does French Drain Last?

French drains can last up to 10-15 years depending on the installation process and maintenance. An installation of a French drain involves burying a perforated sump pump pipe into the backyard that diverts water away.

Typically, heavy rains and sprinkler systems cause wear and tear on the drain over time, but considering installation costs, it still provides economical relief from drainage problems. Property owners must ensure their French drains remain free from debris or buildup of silt as this can disrupt the draining process and reduce their lifespan.

Although there is no one-size-fits-all for French drains, with the proper installation and regular maintenance these powerful underground drains are sure to provide long-term relief from water problems.

Frequently
Asked Questions

French drains are effective, economical, and customized solutions to improve drainage issues and prevent water damage around a home. French drains are essentially perforated pipes laid in trenches filled with gravel, which capture surface water, divert it away from the home’s foundation, and redirect it to a more desirable location.

Many homeowners install French drains as part of their landscape design to control runoff, reduce excessive standing water, protect structural foundations and patio surfaces, stop basement floods during heavy downpours, and reduce mosquitos by eliminating puddles of standing water.

When it comes to French drains, one of the biggest questions is whether or not they can leak. The answer is yes – like any drainage system, leaks are possible. However, the chances of a French drain suffering from a large and damaging leak are slim due to its unique structure.

French drains consist of a trench lined with gravel and a perforated pipe at the bottom that carries runoff away. This design allows the pipe to be surrounded by gravel which can absorb extra water as well as provide additional filtration and protection so that what flows through the pipes doesn’t cause any clogging or blockages (plus they look great!).ย
