French Drain Installation
Excess water on your lawn can be a nuisance. Constantly flooded basements, even worse. A soggy lawn will not only prevent you from enjoying your yard, but it also attracts pests, leads to mold, and affects a home’s foundation. Fortunately, there’s a solution: a French drain.
A French drain is excellent at collecting and diverting water away from your yard and home. Our plumbing contractors are highly-experienced in drainage solutions. We will inspect your yard and determine if a French drain installation is what you need or if you may also need a sump pump installed.

What is a French Drain?
A French drain is a trench installed along your foundation’s perimeter or along the inside of your foundation that collects and channels water away safely. If you have a flat yard, there is really nowhere water runoff can go, so you may experience a lot of standing water.
How do French Drains Work?
There are two common forms of French drain installation. The most common form is an open trench design. It has a perforated pipe inside and is covered with gravel or stone. This design allows more runoff to enter the pipes and is suitable in areas where surface water moves quickly. The other type of French drain design is buried a few inches beneath your lawn.

WHY CHOOSE US?
“We had D&F replace a kitchen faucet at a rental we own in SE Portland. Teena was terrific on the phone, getting us scheduled quickly, and Tyler showed up on time and did a great job. Throughout, communication was excellent. We would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely use them again both at the rental and at our own house.”

“I called D and F to help me figure out how to turn the water back on that was accidentally turned off. They were supposed to call me back, but instead showed up within minutes and fixed the problem free of charge. I’m very happy with how they handled this issue and I’ll definitely be using them on the next job.”

French Drain Repair
Fortunately, French drains don’t require much maintenance. However, over time they can get clogged with leaves, mud, and debris. Once the piping has become clogged, water, calcium, and lime can buildup and weaken your cement, causing it to crack or buckle.
If you notice excess surface water on your property or basement, your French drain may have a clog. We can quickly clear it using a snake or hydro-jetting. We also perform French drain repairs, if your drain has suffered damage.
