What is a French Drain and How Does It Work?

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home’s foundation. It provides a reliable way to reduce water pressure and prevent basement flooding.

How It Works

Water naturally seeks the lowest point. A French drain creates a sunken, gravel-filled path that guides water into the pipe and away from your home.

Key Functions:

  • Water Diversion: Directs water from areas prone to pooling.
  • Foundation Protection: Keeps moisture out of basements and crawlspaces.

Main Benefits:

  • Prevents flooding during storms.
  • Reduces soil erosion near your home.
  • Protects landscaping from water damage.
