What Is a French Drain?
A French drain is an underground drainage system that collects and redirects groundwater away from your home's foundation. This clever system uses a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to capture water and channel it safely away from your property, preventing foundation damage, basement flooding, and soil erosion.
