Trench Drains Vs. French Drains
Trench drains and French drains are two popular solutions for basement floodingโhowever, itโs important to understand the difference between them before deciding which to install in your home.ย
- Trench drains are typically used when you need a new surface drainage structure quickly while french drains can also be used as part of a larger basement waterproofing solution as they donโt take as much time to install.ย
- The French drain installation process requires a trench to be dug, the appropriate filter material such as gravel or stones placed in it, and then the French drain system would need to be connected to a sump pump.
- French drains are more commonly used with basement waterproofing systems than trenches because they have greater water flow capacity due to the size and shape of their pipe.ย
All in all, trench drains and French drains offer very different solutions, so itโs helpful to know both options when looking for ways to prevent basement flooding.
Where Should A French Drain Be Installed?
Installing a French Drain is the perfect way to manage surface water and avoid standing water from forming on your property. It is typically installed near building foundations, down slopes, and alongside patio areas to secure soils and divert water away from these areas. To acquire the best service from the French drain, the perforated pipe should be installed vertically into the ground to properly function as it should.
Additionally, a heavy-gauge perforated pipe may be laid horizontally within the trench for additional water capture. The perforated pipe should be laid in the trench with gravel or stone material, which works as a filter so sediment and silt donโt enter into the system by obstructing the drainage pipes with debris. This will also ensure that your system can withstand extreme rains while continuing to provide ideal performance in preventing standing water buildup.

Frequently
Asked Questions
The general recommendation is to slope the pipe at a rate of one-quarter-inch rise per foot; more specifically, if the basement spans 8 feet, aim for a 2-inch rise across that distance. Achieving this kind of incline may require concrete work that levels out uneven surfaces so your pipe doesnโt have any sudden dips or rises.
Otherwise, as water pools in different sections on uneven ground, it wonโt be able to flow freely through the pipe, causing basement flooding and damaging your partially basement-waterproofed home.
The capacity will vary depending on how big the trenches and piping are, with most systems able to accommodate anywhere from 20,000-25,000 gallons. Furthermore, heavier-duty systems can be constructed to manage even greater volumes depending on the exact needs of the concrete structure being drained.
Ultimately, with professional assistance, French drains installed can provide powerful protection against potential property damage caused by heavy rains and other extreme weather conditions.
