Do you experience water pooling in your yard or basement flooding? These could be signs that your landscape needs a French drain. At DNS Sprinkler and Drainage, with our decades of industry experience, we’re here to help you identify and solve these drainage issues effectively.
When to install a French Drain?
French drains are ideal for landscapes struggling with water drainage. Here are three key indicators that your property might benefit from one:
- Surface Water Issues
- Curtain Drains for Surface Relief: If you notice standing water or soggy soil, a curtain drain, a type of shallow French drain, might be the solution. Positioned uphill, it intercepts water before it can flow downhill, helping to keep your landscape dry.
- Specifications: Typically, these drains are about 1.5 feet wide and 2 feet deep, strategically placed for maximum efficiency.
- Basement Flooding Issues
- Deep French Drains for Basements: Recurrent basement flooding calls for a deeper French drain around your building’s perimeter. These drains require expertise, especially post-construction, but our experienced team ensures seamless installation to protect your basement from water damage.
- Retaining Walls on Hillsides
- Preventive Drainage: Planning to build a retaining wall on a hillside? A French drain behind the wall material is crucial to prevent water build-up, ensuring both the wall’s stability and your property’s safety.
