French Drain Definition
What is a French Drain?
A French drain is an underground water drainage system that helps manage water runoff and prevent flooding in basements, around foundations, as well as in backyards. It typically involves digging a trench, installing a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, and then covering the trench with soil. This system helps divert water away from the property and towards an appropriate drainage area. French drains are commonly used in areas with high water tables or poor drainage to help prevent water damage to buildings and structures.

Sample French Drain Installation Process
The process of French drain installation involves several steps to ensure effective drainage and water diversion. Here is a high-level, general outline of the typical French drain installation process:
-
Site Assessment - the first step is to assess the area where the French drain will be installed to determine the best location and layout for the system.
-
Excavation - a trench is dug along the desired path of the French drain. The depth and width of the trench will depend on the specific requirements of the drainage system.
-
Perforated Pipe Installation - a perforated pipe is installed in the bottom of the trench to collect and carry water away from the area. The pipe is typically surrounded by a layer of permeable landscape fabric to prevent clogging.
-
Gravel Installation - a layer of gravel or rock is placed on top of the pipe to provide drainage and prevent soil from clogging the system.
-
Geotextile fabric installation – helps prevent gravel and aggregate from mixing with the surrounding soil. This allows water to pass through, while keeping the drainage system free of debris.
-
Backfilling - the trench is backfilled with soil, ensuring that the pipe is properly protected and the surface is level.
-
Surface Water Diversion - in some cases, additional surface drainage systems may be installed to divert water towards the French drain.
-
Inspection & Testing - the system is inspected to ensure proper installation and functionality. Testing may involve running water through the system to check for leaks or clogs.
It is important to note that the installation process may vary depending on the specific requirements of the property and drainage system. It is recommended to consult with a professional contractor with experience in French drain installation to ensure proper design, installation, and functionality of the drainage system.
