A french drain is often a great solution to save your property from damage. Properly installed, a french drain can help keep your basement dry and prevent future water damage. Installing a French drain takes 3 steps:
- A trench is dug around the foundation of a building with drainage problems. The trench may be from a foot to six feet deep depending on where the foundation of the home sits.
- A special pipe to collect standing water is laid in this trench. It is put in the trench on a grade, with the pipe running to a lower point away from your home.
- Finally, the trench is filled back in with the original top soil and made level with the ground around it.
