A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home or problem areas in your yard. When water collects in the soil, it flows into the trench, through the pipe, and safely drains away from your property. This system is especially helpful for preventing basement leaks, foundation issues, and soggy lawns caused by poor drainage.
If you frequently notice standing water in your yard, water seeping into your basement, or erosion around your foundation, these are strong indicators of poor drainage. A French drain is ideal for sloped yards, areas with heavy rainfall, or homes with water intrusion issues. Our technicians can assess your property and determine if this solution is right for you.
Proper slope, placement, and materials are critical to a successful French drain. A poorly installed system may not redirect water effectively or could cause damage over time. At Awesome Drain Cleaning and Water Line Repair, we use the right equipment and expertise to install your drain correctly the first time—ensuring long-term protection for your home and landscape.
