Why You May Need A French Drain Installed
Managing drainage is vital to maintain your outdoor areas. Here are a few reasons why it is important:
- Prevent Soil Erosion: If there’s not enough or a proper drainage solution installed and the water stands on the surface for an extended time, it significantly erodes the soil and causes instability. The damage is much more severe on sloped properties. Once soil erosion sets in, it damages retaining walls and structures like fences.
- Prevents Foundation Damage: Due to improper drainage, water pooling near or around the foundation increases the soil’s moisture level, leading to soil erosion. The erosion weakens the foundation, causing structural damage and cracks everywhere.
- Manages Rainwater Runoff: If you live in an area prone to rainfall, runoff rainwater can cause water to pool around your property, leading to waterlogging or potentially flooding your garden or lawns.
- Prevents pests and insects: Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Proper drainage helps eliminate these potential breeding sites, creating a more comfortable and healthier outdoor environment.

Why French Drains Are So Popular
French drains are a popular choice for managing excess water in yards. They consist of a trench filled with gravel or rock, with a perforated pipe placed at the bottom. The pipe collects and redirects water away from your property, preventing water buildup and potential damage.
French drains are particularly effective for homes with poor soil drainage or areas prone to waterlogging. They can help protect your foundation, prevent basement flooding, and keep your yard dry and healthy.
When to Call a Professional French Drain Installer
Recognising the signs of water damage is crucial. If your foundation looks like it is moving or you can see mould and cracks happening or there is standing water around your garden, then it’s time to ring up a professional.
French drain installation, maintenance, and repairs are complex processes that require an accurate planning for the typography of your property. Your local council may also require a planning submission and then certificates of compliance.
Using a local licensed drainage plumber will ensure that it is done right the first time.
