Are French Drains Effective?
How does a French Drain Work?
What Would You Want To Use A Frech Drain For?
There are many different things french drains are suitable for, but here are some of the most common ones we deal with:
Suppose a home or business’s foundation is sitting in a wet area. In that case, a french drain can be an excellent means of moving water along, helping prevent damage to the foundation by preventing the ground from becoming oversaturated.
Soggy spots in a lawn can easily be treated with a french drain preventing water from pooling in the area.
Pool decks often get soft areas around them from rainwater runoff and pool usage. French drains work well around pool decks helping stabilize the soil.
On driveways, rainwater runoff can cause stability issues with some people’s driveways, depending on the grade of the property. French drains can help stabilize the driveways substrate by quickly moving water away.
