What Is a French Drain and Why It Matters

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home. It prevents pooling water, soil erosion, and foundation damage. Without proper drainage, water can saturate soil, weaken foundations, and create breeding grounds for pests. A French drain solves these problems by moving water to a safe discharge point.
