Drainage & French Drains: common questions
My yard floods after every rain — can this fix it?+
Usually yes; a French drain or regrade redirects the water that clay soil can't absorb fast enough.
Will drainage work protect my foundation?+
Moving water away from the house is one of the best things you can do for it.
