"I highly recommend Groundworks for foundation concerns. They were very prompt with returning my call and providing a free inspection. I had concerns for my 103 year old home, especially a section of the foundation. Their Inspector, Bob Bloom, arrived on time, was professional and experienced, took time to answer all my questions (thank you for not rushing), and provided me with useful feedback on my foundation and options for repair. Bob gave an honest assessment with no sales pressure. Although I decided to defer foundation work at this time, I will definitely use them in the future."

His crew works quick, and they pay attention to the tiniest detail.

"We lost our hot water late on a Friday.

On Saturday morning, he arrived bright and early and installed the new water heater and made all the necessary upgrades in compliance with current building codes. Trevor was thorough, professional, conscientious, and highly skilled--and the quality of his work, from the premium parts to the final fit and finish, is truly outstanding.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

Houses can be saved after floods if the flood damage is minor, the water recedes quickly, and you take steps to ensure the structural integrity of the building. Knowing whether a structure is safe after a flood and which belongings and materials you can save is challenging, so always rely on a professional to advise you. Your insurance company and local water mitigation and flood restoration companies can offer guidance. As with any construction project, you’ll want to hire licensed and insured contractors, compare bids, and proceed carefully.

Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the system and site conditions.

Yes, in most cases, a French drain is safe to put around your foundation, provided your landscape allows for it. If you don’t have the proper space surrounding your foundation or there are rocks that would make excavation difficult, a French drain may not be right for your home. Ask a foundation drain specialist what type of drain they recommend for your foundation.
