Exterior French Drains

Exterior French Drains are an amazing defense against wet basements.

 

They are installed around the outside perimeter of the foundation.

 

A French drain is a trench filled with a perforated pipe and gravel that allows water to drain naturally from your yard.

 

The pipe is covered with gravel or rock so that it’s not visible, and it’s angled downward to make sure drainage is smooth and routed away from the property.

 

Depending on where your house is located on the property, grading or a sump pump may be necessary for proper drainage.

Installing an Exterior French Drain is an investment, but it is one of the most popular solutions to reroute water from your home.

 

Exterior drainage allows you to preserve landscaping around your home and create a beautiful exterior design that pops.

 

Sometimes an exterior French Drain is preferred or necessary , but there are less expensive routes you can take that might be possible on a lower budget, such as interior French Drains, which requires less work and time to install.

Interior French Drains

Interior French Drains can be installed in your basement or crawl space to manage water that has already infiltrated the structure of your home.

 

Interior Drainage is a budget water rerouting solution to prevent basement flooding, reduce hydrostatic pressure, improve your indoor air quality, and protect your foundational integrity.

 

Less prep is needed.

 

By using a jackhammer to remove concrete around your exterior walls, the drains can be installed.

 

These drains, however, are more prone to clogging with debris and sediment over time, and doesn’t solve your exterior drainage problems.
