Many homeowners and property owners tend to experience flooding, drainage, or standing water in or around their home.  Often caused by the shifting of grounds – and sometimes shoddy workmanship of your dwelling, we can assist with mitigating your drainage or waterproofing issue the first time, every time, so that it will not happen again.

A French drain is a type of drainage system that is used to redirect excess water away from a specific area, such as a basement or low-lying area of a property. It consists of a trench filled with gravel or rocks, over which perforated pipes are placed. The perforations in the pipes allow water to enter and be carried away to a safe discharge location, such as a storm drain or dry well.

French drains are important for homes because they can help to prevent water damage and protect the structural integrity of the building. Excess water in the soil can lead to foundation settling, cracking, and other problems. French drains can prevent water from pooling near the foundation and reduce the risk of water seepage into the basement, which can lead to mold and mildew growth, as well as damage to personal possessions. Additionally, French drains can also prevent erosion and help to maintain the stability of slopes and retaining walls. In this way, they can protect the property and the surrounding environment, while also improving its overall appearance.
