What Exactly is a French Drain System?

A French drainage system is a series of flexible pipes that collects and directs water away from your property. A long, wide, perforated pipe is placed under the ground of your home and collects excess rain water and melting snow and drains it away from flood prone areas of your home. The drainage tile piping is then covered with gravel or rock so that it’s not easily seen. Drain tile is always angled on a downward slope to make sure all drainage is smooth.french drainage tile installation service.

Storm drains and/or catch basins manage most heavy rain and melting snow and most excess water roadside, but you don’t want an open trench near your home. A French Drain system is less open and obvious, but still allows water to drain to an area where it can cause less damage – again, away from your property.

Some Benefits Of A French Drain System

  • French drains have no moving parts to them unlike sewer or water lines underground, which means they are more unlikely to stop working or break and need future repairs.
  • French drain installation is an affordable way of protecting your home’s foundation.
  • French drainage tiles redirect any groundwater from your home’s foundation – which can prevent pricey foundation repairs in the future caused by flooding.
  • Preventing water damage to your property
  • Preventing soil erosion caused by water buildup
  • Preventing mold and mildew growth in your home or business

Exterior French Drain Tile Installation Specialists

Exterior French drainage tile systems are most commonly installed at the very lowest point that stretches along the outside perimeter of your home.  A trench is dug in your yard and contains multiple perforated pipes which then redirect stagnant surface water away from the foundation of your home.

Exterior drain tile has been a common element for basement waterproofing since the early days, however, over time, and like almost underground piping, can be prone to failure. Weather, ground shifting, and the elements can cause issues over time. These exterior drain tiles need to be cleaned out from time to time (our hydro-jet service is great for this) and can be easily replaced if ever needed. Since exterior drainage tile systems are installed underground and lie a bed of gravel, they will eventually become clogged with dirt, tree roots and other debris.
