Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Most homeowner policies don’t cover damage to the actual French drains themselves. However, some insurance policies do cover flood damage. In the event that your current system fails and your French drains need to be fixed, you could be covered for any damages incurred. Check your insurance policy to see how they pay out for water damage if a drain system fails.

Costs depend on pump type, labor, and site-specific requirements like excavation or drainage lines.

Watering your foundation can make a small impact on the soil's stability during a drought, but its effects are still debated. You should only water a foundation if there are no restrictions on the water in your area at the time, if you are trying to maintain consistent moisture in minimally affected soil, or if you're watering the plants that surround your home. Proper landscaping and maintaining well-draining soil are your best bets against foundation issues from a drought.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

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.
