What is a French Drain?
A French drain is a subsurface drainage system that comprises a trench filled with gravel and a slotted or perforated pipe. It allows water to naturally flow away from your property, sending both surface and groundwater downhill from your location. The exact details of your French drain will depend on your unique site; with a variety of gravel sizes, depth of the trench, and type of pipe. Working extremely effectively, French drains are known for their ideal suitability to their purpose, ensuring that water is directed away from structures thereby preventing damage to any foundations.
