Discover the Importance of French Drain Installation in PA, NJ, & DE
Excessive water can have a significant impact on a property. It can cause damage to building foundations and cause other issues. To fight against potential problems caused by water, property owners should take appropriate measures to keep their buildings dry and safe with proper drainage. One solution that diverts water away from your property to avoid groundwater accumulation is a French drain. But what exactly is a French drain, and why should you have one installed?
The experienced team at Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions has been working with homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey for 25 years to find ideal waterproofing and drainage solutions for their properties. We specialize in a variety of waterproofing and drainage services, including French drain installation.

What Are French Drains?
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock, or both, with or without a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from a home or commercial building. When done well and the budget allows, a French drain can be woven into other hard landscaping elements to create a pleasing aesthetic beyond just a rock drainage ditch.
French drain installation is intended to allow water to pass through easily, preventing it from pooling in a ditch or low-lying area. Water will seep into the gravel or stone and, if one is used, through the holes in the perforated pipe. To ensure the drain remains clear of any unwanted debris, such as weeds, dirt, or other items, landscaping fabric can be wrapped around the pipe. This allows water to still pass through the pipe while reducing the risk of clogs. The pipe then carries the water to a drainage area in the yard or the municipal sewer system.
French drains often get mistaken for trench drains since they utilize a rock trench and piping. Unlike a trench drain that only has openings at either end, a French drain can more seamlessly blend into the landscaping and take on water at multiple points.
Our French Drain Installation Services

Reasons to Consider French Drain Installation
With various drainage solutions available, it might be difficult to figure out which one is ideal for your property. Before determining if investing in a French drain is worth it, we recommend inspecting your property and looking for any of the following warning signs:
- Water that frequently pools in your basement or crawl space
- Leaks in your foundation
- Constantly soggy, wet, and muddy ground in your yard
- Areas in the yard where standing water pools
- Noticeable new cracks in the foundation of your building
Few residential or commercial investments have the potential ROI of an effective drainage system. French drain installation can solve the consequences associated with water accumulating in the wrong spots on your property.
Additionally, flooding is only one of the risks associated with too much water in the soil. You also run the risk of weakening the building’s structural integrity. A properly installed French drain addresses all these concerns and provides you with peace of mind.
