French Drains
A French drain consists of perforated hollow pipe encased in gravel of a size that is too large to fit inside the perforated holes but small and dense enough to prevent surrounding soil from clogging the pipe. Dirt is filled in around the gravel so that groundwater can trickle into the pipe and be diverted to another location. French drains, sometimes called land drains, drain tiles or perimeter drains, are commonly installed in a trench around the base of a home's foundation to control groundwater problems and prevent water from leaking into a basement or crawl space.
