We find where water enters the soil before designing the drain, so the trench intercepts it.
Fabric wrapped gravel and pipe keep silt out, which keeps the drain working for years.
Every drain gets a steady slope to a safe outlet, never just a buried pit.
Length, depth, and the outlet type set the price. A short drain along a side yard to the street is simpler than a long run around the foundation that ends in an underground chamber.
Loose backfill next to new Peyton homes soaks up water. A drain along the foundation edge can intercept some of it, but grading and downspouts need to be right too, or the drain ends up doing all the work.
Low side yards between houses often stay wet after storms. A French drain beneath or beside the builder swale can dry them out.
Every pipe needs an exit, whether that’s a hillside, the curb, or a buried gravel pit. We pick the one your lot’s slope supports. Water already inside the basement is a job for foundation or water restoration specialists, and we’ll refer you.
French drains often pair with dry wells and downspout extensions. See our Peyton drainage services.
We study where water collects and seeps, and plan the trench route and outlet.
Crews dig the trench, line it with fabric, add gravel and perforated pipe, and set the slope.
The trench is backfilled, the outlet finished, and we test the flow with water.
