How deep do French drains need to be?
Most French drains work best at 18-24 inches deep with proper slope toward the outlet. Clay soils may require deeper installation to reach permeable layers.

Can you connect to existing storm drains?

What causes water to pool in yards?
Poor grading, compacted clay soil, and inadequate outlets create standing water. We address all three factors for complete drainage solutions.

How do catch basins work with downspouts?
Catch basins collect roof runoff from downspouts and channel it underground to safe outlets. This prevents erosion around foundations and walkways.

Will drainage work affect existing landscaping?
We route systems to minimize disruption and restore affected areas with matching plants. Most drainage lines run beneath lawn areas with minimal surface impact.
