Florida's flat lots and heavy rain are a tough combination. When water has nowhere to go, it pools against your foundation, drowns your landscaping, and turns your yard into standing water after every storm.

How It Works

1

Assess

We evaluate your yard's grading and find where and why water is collecting.

2

Design

We map a drain path and discharge point that actually solves the problem, not just moves it.

3

Install

The trench, pipe, and gravel go in, tied into your downspouts where it makes sense.

4

Restore

We restore the sod and landscaping so your yard looks finished, not dug up.

A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects groundwater and surface runoff and carries it to a discharge point well away from your home, instead of letting it sit and soak into your foundation or driveway.

We start with a site evaluation to find where water is actually collecting and why, since drainage problems usually trace back to grading, not just a single wet spot. From there we design a drain path that ties into your existing gutter downspouts where it makes sense, so roof runoff and ground water are both handled by the same system.

Once the trench and pipe are in, we restore the sod and landscaping so the yard looks the way it did before we started, minus the standing water.

French Drains Questions

It depends on your yard's grading and what the drain needs to intercept, but most residential French drains run 18 to 24 inches deep. We size each one during the site evaluation.

A properly installed French drain typically lasts 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.

In most cases, yes, if the standing water is caused by grading or groundwater. We evaluate your specific situation before recommending a French drain, since some drainage issues need a different fix.

Yes, and it often makes sense to. Tying your downspouts into a French drain keeps roof runoff from just recreating the same standing-water problem at ground level.
