French Drain Installation

At Pure Drainage, we specialize in professional French drain installation, providing a reliable and long-lasting drainage system that protects your property and enhances your outdoor space.

Our French Drain Installation Process

We begin with an initial assessment to understand your drainage concerns, examine your property, and discuss your specific needs and expectations. Factors such as the layout of your property, water sources, and the extent of the drainage problem are considered. Our experts will provide recommendations and answer any questions about the installation process.

Based on the information gathered during the assessment and our onsite evaluation, our team will design a customized French drain system that meets your requirements.

We will send you a quote for the drainage solution. Upon approval of the quote and a 50% deposit for materials, we will schedule a project start date that suits you.

A few days before starting, we will contact Louisiana One to mark any known gas or water lines. If you know of additional underground wiring, irrigation systems, etc., please inform our team of those areas.

Our team will review the project design and scope on the project start date. Then get to work!

First, we will mark or designate the location of any catch basins. Next, we will proceed with excavation and trenching. Our team carefully excavates the designated area, ensuring proper depth and width for the French drain. Again, inform the team before starting if you know of any underground wiring, irrigation systems, or pipes. We minimize disruption to your landscape and maintain a clean and organized work environment. We will keep you well-informed of any needed adjustments throughout the project.

With the trench prepared, we lay the cloth and perforated PVC pipe surrounded by limestone or rock. This allows for efficient water collection and filtration.

We meticulously connect the pipe to the existing drainage system, catch basin, or designated outlet point.

After installing the French drain and catch basins, we backfill the trench with limestone or rock. Rock and limestone allow water to flow unhindered into the perforated pipes. Our team ensures proper compaction to restore the surface with gravel, rock, sand, or sod.

Before completing the installation, our team conducts a final inspection to ensure the French drain system is functioning properly and meets our quality standards. We test the system to verify the adequate water flow and address any minor adjustments if needed.

Once completed, we will walk you through the completed installation. We will send a final invoice for payment of the remaining cost.

We leave your property clean and tidy, with minimal evidence of the installation process. And you get to enjoy your transformed yard!

When you choose Pure Drainage for your French drain installation, you can expect exceptional service, expert craftsmanship, and a drainage system that delivers long-term results.
