Do You Need To Put Gravel Under French Drain?

French drain installation is an important part of many drainage systems. It helps to alleviate common drainage problems such as standing water, clogs, and other yard drainage system issues.ย 

The gravel or sand that is placed underneath the drainpipe act as a buffer between the pipe and the soil to ensure a proper drainage solution.

This prevents clogs from forming and allows for a more efficient flow of water. Additionally, this type of French Drain System provides a reliable solution for long-term yard drainage solutions, such as preventing flooding and keeping water from pooling in certain areas.

What Is The Amount Of Gravel For French Drains?

The addition of quality gravel to your French drain installation project is essential in helping to manage excess water, sump pumps, and water leaking from the yard. Not only can it help prevent a soggy lawn and erosion problem but also directs water away from walls, landscaping, and other areas of your property.

Experts will determine the exact quantity of gravel after reviewing the property’s circumstances.

By using the right amount of gravel for your particular situation you can ensure that your French drain pipes are properly installed and functioning at optimal levels.ย
