What Is a French Drain?
A French drain, also known as a weeping tile or perimeter drain, is a trench filled with gravel or rock or containing a perforated pipe. It redirects surface water and groundwater away from your foundation to prevent damage. Typically, French drains are installed around the foundation walls during construction or as a retrofitting measure in existing homes.
- Redirects water away from foundations
- Can be used as a septic drain field
- Often paired with retaining walls to relieve ground pressure
Interior vs. Exterior French Drains
When deciding between interior and exterior French drains, consider the following:
Interior French Drains:
Installed around the perimeter of a basement floor, interior drains are effective for existing homes. They involve removing concrete to lay a perforated pipe.
Exterior French Drains:
Installed around the outside of the foundation before backfilling, exterior drains offer comprehensive waterproofing and address soil pressure issues.
