Moving Water Where It Belongs

A French drain is a gravel filled trench with perforated pipe that collects water and carries it away from problem areas. In Monument, French drains are a common fix for spring snowmelt that soaks the ground near foundations, water running off uphill neighbors, and wet areas on sloped lots. We plan the drain route, slope, and outlet carefully so water actually leaves your property or problem area.

French Drains in Monument

Snowmelt and Foundations

Snow piled against the house melts slowly and soaks the soil near foundations. A French drain intercepts that water before it reaches your basement.

Water From Uphill

On sloped lots, water from uphill properties can flow into your yard. A drain along the slope can redirect it.

Where the Water Goes

Drains need an outlet, like a daylight point, swale, or dry well.

Part of a Bigger Plan

For complex problems, yard drainage correction looks at your whole property.

Planning the Outlet

A French drain is only as good as where it sends water. We look for a safe daylight point downhill, a swale, or a dry well, and make sure the outlet won’t create a new problem somewhere else on your property or your neighbor’s.

Keeping It Clear

Filter fabric and clean gravel keep fine soil out of the pipe, which is especially important in Monument’s sandy, silty soils.
