Common Questions
What is a French drain?
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater. Interior French drains run along the basement perimeter to a sump basin. Exterior drains are installed alongside the foundation to divert water before it enters.
Interior vs. exterior French drain — which do I need?
Interior French drains are ideal when water is already entering the basement — they capture it and route it to a sump pump. Exterior drains prevent water from reaching the foundation in the first place. We often recommend both for complete protection.
How long does installation take?
Interior French drains typically take 2-3 days. Exterior drains take 3-5 days depending on landscaping and access. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and yard.
Do French drains need maintenance?
French drains are designed to be low maintenance. We recommend periodic inspection of the sump pump and checking discharge lines. The gravel and filter fabric we use prevent clogging for years of worry-free performance.
How much does a French drain cost?
Cost varies by project size, interior vs. exterior, and site conditions. We provide free inspections and transparent estimates with no hidden fees. Financing options are available through Wisetack.
"We had water coming in every time it rained. AK Water Works installed a French drain around the entire perimeter and connected it to a new sump pump. Haven't had a drop of water since!"
