Signs You May Need a French Drain

If you’re unsure whether your property would benefit from a French drain, look for these common warning signs:

• Pools of standing water in your yard after rain
• Wet, muddy patches that never seem to dry out
• Water flowing toward your foundation or basement
• Soil erosion around landscaped areas or structures
• Mildew or dampness near crawl spaces or basements

Our French Drain Services

At Grit N Grind Grading, we design and install French drain systems tailored to each property. No two landscapes are the same, and our approach ensures water is redirected safely and effectively.

Custom Drainage Design
We start by assessing your property’s layout, soil type, and water flow patterns. From there, we design a French drain system that solves your drainage issues without disrupting your landscape.

Professional Installation
Using precise excavation techniques, we install perforated pipes at the correct depth and slope to ensure reliable water movement. Our process is designed for long-term durability.

Yard and Foundation Protection
French drains are often installed around foundations, basements, or crawl spaces to protect against water infiltration. We make sure water is redirected away from your home to reduce the risk of costly foundation damage.

Integration with Other Systems
If your property also requires culverts, downspout drainage, or grading adjustments, we can integrate your French drain into a complete drainage solution.
