French Drains

Professional French drain installation in Seattle solves standing water problems by channeling excess moisture away from problem areas. Our drainage solutions involve excavating trenches along problem areas, lining them with landscape fabric to prevent clogging, filling with graded gravel that allows water flow, installing perforated pipe that collects and redirects water to appropriate discharge points, and covering with additional gravel and topsoil so the system is invisible once complete. We design French drains to address King County's specific challenges: our clay soil drains poorly naturally, winter rainfall saturates ground for months, and improper grading from construction often directs water toward foundations rather than away.

The benefit of professional French drain installation is solving chronic drainage issues that kill plantings, prevent lawn growth, create mosquito breeding grounds, and make entire sections of your property unusable during wet months—transforming soggy problem areas into functional landscape space where plants actually thrive and you can walk without sinking. Well-installed drainage systems protect your home's foundation from water damage, eliminate standing water that invites pests and disease, create healthier growing conditions for your landscape investment, and increase property value through improved functionality—because French drain installation Seattle homeowners rely on means permanent solutions to drainage problems rather than temporary fixes that fail every winter.
