French Drain Installation, done with precision
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects water and carries it to a safe outlet. It is the right answer when water soaks into the soil and has nowhere to go, such as a soggy low corner, a wet fence line or water stalled behind a retaining area. We map where water enters and where it can exit, trench with a consistent slope, line it with fabric, lay pipe, backfill with washed gravel and cap the top with soil, sod or rock. Slope is the whole game, and in flat North Texas lots outlets can be hard to find, so we plan the discharge first. In limestone ground, trenching is slower. A French drain handles subsurface water; it does not replace gutters or foundation repair.

Common questions about french drain installation
Will a French drain fix my foundation problems?
It can help keep water away from a foundation, but it does not repair cracks or settling. If you suspect structural damage, have it evaluated by the right specialist.
Where does the water go?
To a lower outlet such as a street, swale or approved discharge point. Finding that outlet is the first thing we check.
How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
Signs include puddles that last more than a day or two after rain, soggy turf, eroded beds, water against the foundation, and plants dying in low spots. We can look and tell you the cause.
Do you repair irrigation systems?
Yes. We troubleshoot and repair sprinkler and drip systems, including heads, valves and controllers. We do not offer full system design or install.
