Q: What is a French Drain?
A: French Drains are usually Plastic drain pipe with holes in it to
collect subsurface water & divert it from your homes foundation. There is a "sock" or filter fabric that fits
over the pipe to prevent soil from entering the holes & clogging the pipe rendering it un-operable. The pipe is set in
the trench with the holes facing down to prevent clogging. The pipe is laid in a trench lined with filter fabric &
filled in with washed pea rock.

Q: How much will a Residential Drainage system cost?
A: All of our Drainage systems are customized to your specific needs. Cost vary depending
on various factors. Drainage systems can cost several thousand dollars. Installing underground drainage systems is
Labor Intensive. Most of our trenching must be hand dug for most Residential situations where bringing large earth
moving & trenching equipment in is not an option. A majority of our trenching requires working carefully around existing Landscape,
Gas lines, Irrigation, Electrical lines, Pool lines, Plumbing, Lawns, Concrete decks and other obstacles. Other
factors include long pipe runs where our trenches reach 2 to 3 feet deep & 6" wide to facilitate gravity flow.
