What Is a French Drain?
French drains have been used since the 1800s to redirect water away from your property. Your French drain system is simply a ditch in the ground with a perforated pipe under a layer of gravel. While it may not seem glamorous, our experienced team can transform your French drains into gorgeous accent pieces for a truly stunning finished system. When you choose us for your French drain installation, we will ensure the system is appropriately graded so that water is redirected away from your home and doesn’t get trapped inside the pipes. It’s essential that your system is installed correctly to ensure long-lasting results and a dry basement.
Where Should I Install a French Drain?
When you contact Reliable Basement Services for a French drain installation, our team will meet with you to learn about the issues you’re having and make a recommendation on where a French drain will best help prevent water from damaging your property. Some of the most common places we install French drains include:
Installing a French drain around your property's foundation will prevent water from seeping into your basement or crawlspace through hairline cracks.
If stormwater is puddled on your lawn for days after a severe storm, we can install a French drain to redirect the groundwater away from your property so you can use the space.
Large puddles of water may form around your patio or driveway. Hardscapes prevent water from being absorbed naturally into the ground.
Installing an Interior French Drain System
An interior French drain system is explicitly designed to be installed in your basement or crawlspace and redirects any excess water to a sump pump basin. An interior French drain works essentially the same way as any other type of French drain, except it is installed in your home’s basement along the perimeter of your basement walls. Our knowledgeable team may recommend an interior French drain system for homes that have basement water problems. It is one of the most effective ways to prevent water from pooling in your basement. Whether you only use your basement for storage or plan on finishing it, an interior French drain can help keep your basement dry.
