From heavy downpours to serious storms, rainwater can have a major impact on your property, having a  French Drain is the perfect solution to keep water away from vulnerable parts of your property and ensure that you enjoy a pleasant, safe atmosphere while outdoors.

A French drain installation will provide the rain runoff with a route to flow away from your property to avoid grievous, and expensive, water damage to your property. Without the right drainage management in place, flooding and soil erosion could be inevitable. But, with French drains, water runoff is collected quickly and via a series of subsurface pipes, they quickly divert it away from your building and you’ll have reliable protection against any potential water-related damage.

What is a French drain?

No one enjoys the sight of overflowing garden beds or puddles in their driveway, so the best way to alleviate this problem is to install a French drain.

French drains are one of the most effective solutions for draining away excess water. They are simple drainage solution that is efficient without breaking your budget. French Drains are installed to move water that is underground and to direct it away from the foundation of your property. They are a channel drain system that collects water down the full length of the drain, as opposed to just being limited to a specific area.

French drain systems can be used to:

  • Drain water away from the foundations of your home
  • Capture and remove groundwater
  • Alleviate groundwater pressure on retaining walls
  • Discharge sewage from septic tanks

Types of French drains

  • Curtain Drain - concealed by soil over which grass can grow. This type of French drain does not extend to the surface.
  • Filter Drain - drains groundwater
  • Collector Drain and Interceptor Drain - drains ground and surface water and can be connected to underground pipes to redirect surface water. They also have a cleanable filter to prevent piped from becoming blocked.
  • Dispersal Drain - These drains are used to distribute the wastewater produced by a septic tank to the leach field
  • Fin Drains - Narrow trenches and a cheaper option than a traditional French drain. They consist of permeable membranes and can redirect groundwater and surface water to the drainage system.
