French Drain FAQ

What is a French drain and how does it work?
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from your home’s foundation. It works by collecting water and channeling it away to a safe discharge point, helping prevent basement flooding and foundation damage.

Do I need a French drain in my Delaware County home?
If you experience water pooling in your yard, a leaky basement, or foundation seepage during rainstorms, a French drain could be the ideal solution. Homes in Delaware County with poor soil drainage or sloped landscapes especially benefit from proper water redirection systems.

How much does it cost to install a French drain?
The cost of a French drain installation depends on factors like the length of the drain, site accessibility, and the extent of excavation required. At Cumming Construction, we provide custom estimates based on your specific needs and property layout.

Can a French drain fix a wet basement?
Yes, French drains are one of the most effective ways to prevent basement water intrusion. When installed correctly—often along the interior or exterior perimeter—they collect and divert water before it can enter your home, keeping your basement dry.

Do I need a sump pump with a French drain?
In many cases, especially for interior French drain systems, a sump pump is recommended to actively remove collected water from the drain and discharge it away from the home. We can evaluate your setup and include sump pump installation or repairs if needed.

What’s the difference between interior and exterior French drains?
Exterior French drains are installed around the outside of your foundation and are ideal for preventing water from reaching your basement walls. Interior French drains are placed inside your basement along the perimeter and are better suited for managing water that’s already seeping inside.

Can you repair or replace an existing French drain?
Absolutely. If your current French drain system is clogged, damaged, or failing to perform, our team at Cumming Construction can assess the issue and provide repairs or a full replacement using modern materials and proven installation techniques.

How long does it take to install a French drain?
Most French drain installations take 1–3 days depending on the size of the project and site conditions. We’ll provide a clear timeline and keep you informed every step of the way.

What maintenance does a French drain need?
French drains are relatively low-maintenance, but occasional inspections can ensure they remain clear of debris. If you suspect a blockage, we can diagnose the issue and provide effective cleaning or repair solutions.

Do French drains increase home value?
Yes, addressing drainage issues with a professionally installed French drain not only protects your home but also adds value by improving the safety, longevity, and marketability of your property.
