When a French drain may help
French drains are commonly considered when water moves through saturated soil, collects in low areas, or repeatedly reaches a foundation, crawlspace, basement wall, or other vulnerable part of the property.
- Soggy lawn areas that remain wet after storms
- Water moving toward a slab, footing, or foundation wall
- Recurring seepage near a basement or crawlspace
- Runoff that needs a controlled underground route
What a provider evaluates
An independent drainage professional may review slope, soil, discharge options, utilities, access, and whether a French drain, grading correction, catch basin, swale, sump system, or another solution is the better fit.
