Do you consistently have a damp spot ruining your yard? Or do you suffer from water reaching your basement after a heavy rain? A French drain could be exactly what you need to put those issues in the rear-view.
A French drain sounds regal but it’s simply a ditch lined with gravel, containing an embedded pipe that carries water away from the home. Similar to gutters that collect and reroute water away, French drains manage the excess water at ground level.
This system can also alleviate the issue of moisture seeping through your foundation. Again, it will collect and disperse that water away from your home.
The depth of a French drain varies between properties, and may need to be several feet under the ground depending on the incline. Outdoor Living Hardscapes will assess the problem and choose the depth required to guarantee water flows properly through the drainage pipe, keeping your home safe from water damage.
