Improper drainage is one of the leading causes of foundation failure and water seeping into your home. Constant moisture in concentrated spots can cause the soil to settle and compact in that area creating uneven support. Excess moisture can cause erosion which will remove soil that supports the foundation walls. Drainage points are the key to ensuring water is directed away from your home’s foundation. French drain are one of the best ways to keep water from pooling around your foundation. A French drain is a gravel lined trench dug from your water pooling area to a different location.

When Do You Need a French Drain?

Threats around your foundation are always occurring, especially water flow. One way to eliminate the water from settling into your foundation is with use of a French drain. French drains can be installed as a way to capture water and move it away from the home and foundation.

Although a French drain is an effective drainage solution, it could be paired with several other water drainage solutions to ensure the most effectiveness: 

• Efficient landscape grading
  
• Proper basement waterproofing methods
  
• Elimination of foundation cracks
