What Is a French Drain?
A French drain is a subsurface drainage system that redirects excess water away from problem areas on your property. It typically consists of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that captures both surface water and groundwater, channeling it to a safe discharge location. This helps prevent soggy lawns, erosion, and potential damage to your home’s foundation.
Why Properties in Oakland & Macomb County Need French Drains
Michigan’s heavy rains, snowmelt, and high groundwater levels make proper drainage essential. Without a system in place, property owners may experience:
Standing water in lawns and low-lying areas
Foundation moisture and potential structural issues
Soil erosion and landscape damage
Mosquito breeding areas and unusable yard space
Our French drain systems are designed to handle these issues efficiently, keeping your property safe and dry.
