FAQs
How do French drains work?
A french drain works by taking the excess water away from your home underneath the surface of your backyard. It’s built using a trench with a pipe at the bottom, when water seeps into the soil, it naturally flows to the pipe where it is then carried away from your home.
What is the difference between French and trench drains?
French and trench drains both help remove excess water, but they work differently. A french drain redirects water through a trench and a pipe, where a trench drain is a grated channel that collects water directly from surfaces such as driveways or pools.
