FAQ
Our French Drain Services
What Are the Signs That a French Drain Is Defective or Needs To Be Replaced?
Common signs include moisture or water seepage in the basement, cracks in the foundation, a persistent musty odour, or ground that remains soggy long after it has rained.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s recommended that you have your existing French drain inspected promptly to prevent further damage to your property.
What Is the Average Lifespan of a French Drain?
A properly installed French drain can generally last 25 to 40 years, depending on the soil type, the quality of the original installation, and how well the system is maintained. Over time, however, sediment buildup or soil subsidence can reduce its effectiveness, which is why it’s important to have it inspected if you have any concerns.
What Sets a French Drain Apart From Other Outdoor Drainage Systems?
Unlike a simple surface drainage system, a French drain is buried along the foundation and captures groundwater before it reaches your basement. It therefore acts as a preventive barrier rather than a surface solution, making it a more comprehensive protection against moisture infiltration into the foundation.
What Work Is Included in Restoring the Landscape After Installing a French Drain?
Once the new drain is installed, our landscaping division handles the backfilling and grading of the excavated area to restore the visual and functional integrity of your outdoor space.
This turnkey approach saves you from having to coordinate with an additional contractor for landscape restoration after the work is complete.
