Benefits of Drainage System

A French drain prevents water damage by redirecting it away, ensuring a stable foundation, preventing waterlogging and erosion, and enhancing landscape aesthetics for a resilient and appealing outdoor space.

  • Protect Your Foundation

    The best benefit of a drain is that it helps prevent foundational damage to your home. With a French drain, you can direct the water away from a stop, like your home or garage.


    This helps prevent flooding inside the home. You will also avoid cleaning any messy water after heavy rainfall.

  • Protect Your Lawn

    With a working drainage system, you can avoid yard flooding which will help you protect your lawn. When water collects in the yard, it can cause your land to become mushy, thus destroying your lawn.


    Standing water in your yard can cause fungus, and diseases and increase the stress on the land. A French drain is a quick and effective solution to avoid a lot of yard problems.

  • Good for The Environment

    Being environment-friendly is important right now. A French drain is an environment-friendly decision. Eco-friendly materials are used to build the drainage system which is budget and environment-friendly.


    Make the right choice with us and invest in your property today.  French drains are a brilliant way to manage ground-level water. They can be concealed easily and need no maintenance.


    If your home suffers from a wet or soggy lawn, constant flooding, or has flower beds, then you need a good drainage system.

FAQ's About Drainage

  • How does a french drain work?

    Standing water can be problematic. Yet, if your patio, pool deck, or yard flood every time it rains, that can be even worse. A bad drainage system can cause many problems:

    • Hinder your chores
    • Cause lawn damage
    • Stop you from enjoying your patio, or even cause foundational damage to your property

    If your foundation gets damaged, it can cause damage to the structure, making it unsafe to live in. These may seem like really big problems but with a properly working drainage system, you can protect the foundation and maintain a dry yard. 


    A French drain is a trench drain that absorbs and diverts extra water away from the house, thus draining it. It improves your home and is a required investment for the long haul.

  • Why is my yard flooding?

    It can be an annoying experience if your yard keeps flooding while other people seem to have dry yards. There can be a lot of reasons why your drainage system may not be working. Every land is different and what may apply to your neighbor, may not work for you. The two main factors that affect drainage are a lack of contour and the yard's soil content.


    When rain falls on your lawn, it sinks into the soil and displaces the air, thus pushing it up. If the clay is compacted and heavy, it may not have a lot of air which may be causing the water to crest on your yard's surface. 


    How the water moves around the yard also affects its drainage. If you live on a slope, water from the land above may be collecting in your yard. If your land is flat, you could be dealing with standing water.


    Both these factors together can cause your yard to turn into a lake, especially during heavy rainfalls. Sometimes even when you use sprinklers. Yet, with the right drainage system, you can protect your home, and your yard and increase the value of your property. 


    With a dry yard, you can also enjoy your pool and yard more often. Your pets can play and run around the lawn without any worries.


    You can comfortably walk and mow your lawn. Call us for a free estimate today.

  • How can D R Excavation help?

  • What if I ignore my drainage issues?

    You may think a french drainage system is not something you want to invest in and let your land handle the water naturally. But you will be wrong. If you ignore your drainage issues, you will end up spending a lot more money whenever you decide to address it.


    Having a good and working drainage system will help you avoid issues in the future. It will also safeguard your property for the long haul. 


    Drainage trouble not only happens due to heavy rain. It can occur due to many things like:

    • Runoff from someone else's house
    • Excessive water from sprinklers
    • Sloped areas towards your yard
    • Variances in yard elevation
    • Bad soil conditions, rising sea levels, concrete runoff, or low-lying surface areas.

    We can help you find out why your yard is flooding
