Skilled installers guarantee correct placement and function, reducing future maintenance needs and protecting your landscape.
- - Site Assessment - Evaluate the area to determine drainage needs and optimal drain placement.
- - Excavation - Dig trenches that are typically 6-12 inches wide and 18-24 inches deep.
- - Drain Installation - Lay perforated pipe within the trench, ensuring proper slope for water flow.
- - Backfilling - Cover the pipe with gravel or drain rock to facilitate water movement and prevent clogging.
- - Final Grading - Level the soil surface to direct water away from structures and ensure proper drainage.
French drain installation typically involves excavating a trench in the desired area, lining it with a permeable fabric, and placing a perforated pipe within the trench to facilitate water flow. The trench is then backfilled with gravel or rock to allow water to drain away from the foundation or problem area. When evaluating requests, important details include the location and size of the drainage area, the purpose of the drain, the soil type and drainage needs, existing landscape features, accessibility of the site, and any specific concerns about water pooling or foundation protection. Accurate assessment of these factors helps determine the scope of work, materials required, and proper installation techniques.
