What Exactly is a French Drain and How Can it Help Your Property?

Think of a French drain as a hidden, underground river designed to expertly channel excess surface and groundwater away from problem areas. It's essentially a trench, typically filled with gravel, containing a perforated pipe. Water seeps through the gravel, enters the pipe, and is then guided to a safe discharge point, like a storm drain, a lower part of your property, or a soakaway. This simple, yet incredibly effective system, prevents water from pooling, protecting your garden, patio, and crucially, your home's foundations from the damaging effects of waterlogging. It’s a vital investment for maintaining a healthy, dry property.
