Call Us TodayWhat Are Foundation Drains?
Foundation drains (also known as French drains) are a plumbing system specifically designed to protect your home's foundation from water damage. They work by collecting any excess water that seeps into the ground around your foundation and channeling it away from your house. These drains are typically buried pipes that are wrapped in filter fabric and run along the exterior perimeter of your foundation.
The pipes have holes or perforations that allow water to seep in while the fabric prevents dirt and debris from clogging the system. The pipes are surrounded by gravel, which allows water to flow freely towards them. This helps to prevent problems like cracks, leaks, and even flooding in your basement.
What Are the Benefits of French Drains?
Beyond foundation protection, a well-functioning French drain offers a range of additional benefits. It helps prevent soil erosion around the foundation, which can weaken it and cause settlement problems.
A well-working drain will also discourage pests. Many pests thrive in moist areas, and your foundation will be as dry as can be, thanks to a well-installed drainage system. These drains also protect your landscaping from the damaging effects of standing water.
Does Every Property Need a Foundation Drain?
Whether your commercial property or home needs a foundation drain depends on several factors. Do you have a basement or crawlspace? These properties most benefit from drainage systems as they're vulnerable to water seepage and flooding.
Have you discovered leaks in your foundation? Leaks or the presence of mold are the strongest indicators that your property might need a footing drain.
