French
Drain Installation
A French drain
installation can help you maintain how much
standing water you may get in your yard. Water that
sits next to your foundation could be damaging your
foundation and even seeping into your basement.
French drain installations
are a great solution for removing standing ground water
from around your foundation. If your yard has a proper
slope, a simple French drain installation
can be dug so the water can be redirected to another
part of your property or to a city storm drain. If your
yard doesn’t slope away from your foundation you
will need to use something like a builder’s level
to determine how deep to dig the French drain so that
it slopes properly. If the trench doesn’t slope
the water will continue to collect next to your foundation
and you may even end up with more water around your
foundation.
A drain tile is a similar
concept but installed inside your basement and constructed
a little differently. A drain tile inside your basement
should be part of a whole system to remove water from
your basement. For more information on drain tile installation

Standing ground
water is only ONE of the problems that can cause a wet
basement. Simply removing standing ground water with
a French drain installation is not
guaranteed to keep your basement dry. There are other
problems that can cause wet basements. To find out what
your situation calls for and how to keep your basement
clean and dry contact a waterproofing professional for
a consultation and inspection.
