French Drain FAQs

Answers to common drainage questions

How do I know if I need a French drain?

Signs include: water pooling for 24+ hours after rain, soggy lawn areas, basement moisture, or erosion near foundations. We offer free assessments to evaluate your specific needs.

What’s the difference between French drains and surface drains?

French drains handle subsurface water infiltration (percolating through soil), while surface drains manage runoff. Many properties benefit from a combination system.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations take 1-3 days depending on system complexity and property size. We minimize disruption and restore all affected areas.

Do French drains work in clay soil?

Yes! Our Texas-specific designs account for clay’s slow permeability. We use proper gravel sizes and filter fabrics to ensure long-term functionality.

What maintenance is required?

Quality installations need minimal upkeep. We recommend inspecting outlet points annually and may suggest flushing every few years in sandy areas.
