A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock that contains a perforated pipe, designed to redirect water away from your home\u2019s foundation. It works by collecting excess groundwater or surface water and channeling it to a safe discharge point, like a storm drain or dry well.<\/p>\n
Water naturally follows the path of least resistance. A French drain gives water an easy route to flow away from your property\u2014reducing pressure on your foundation, preventing basement flooding, and keeping crawl spaces dry.<\/p>\n\n
