A French drain is an underground drainage system that uses a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to collect and redirect excess water away from your yard, foundation, landscaping, or other problem areas.

If you have standing water, soggy grass, muddy areas, water pooling near your foundation, erosion, or poor yard drainage after rain, a French drain may be the best long-term solution.

A professionally installed French drain can last 30 years or more when built with quality materials, proper grading, filter fabric, and adequate drainage stone.

A French drain collects groundwater below the surface using perforated pipe and gravel, while a surface drain collects water from the top of the ground through catch basins or channel drains. Many properties benefit from using both systems together.
