What is a French Drain?

A French drain is a proven, low-maintenance way to prevent water from damaging your basement or foundation. It’s essentially a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects excess groundwater and redirects it away from your home—before it can seep through walls or flood your basement.

French drains can be installed outside around the perimeter of your home to handle surface runoff or underground moisture, or inside your basement along the foundation walls to intercept water that’s already entered. They work quietly behind the scenes to relieve pressure, dry out problem areas, and help protect your home year-round. If you're constantly searching for solutions to basement leaks or poor yard drainage, this is one of the most effective long-term answers.

When Should You Install a French Drain?

If you're noticing water pooling near your foundation, damp basement walls, or a yard that never seems to dry out, it's time to consider a French drain. These drainage systems are ideal for homes experiencing recurring water issues—especially in areas like Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut, where heavy rain and changing seasons can quickly lead to basement leaks and foundation damage.
