french drains
A French Drain system consists of a perforated pipe that is installed by digging long narrow trenches in your yard or around your home. The perforated pipe is placed in the trench and covered with fabric to prevent soil from entering the pipe and clogging the system. The trench is than filled with river rock that allows water to raise up from underneath the pipe which than properly diverts the water away from your foundation. Covering the river rock is one of the great benefits about French Drains systems in San Antonio because once landscaping is completed the entire system is no longer visible from the surface. The French drain will be collecting surface and ground water properly for years and moving it away from you yard or house safely.
When installed properly French Drains are great at collecting rainwater and diverting it away from your home. Having a soggy yard days after it has rained is always a concern, but the bigger concern for homeowners should be your homes foundation. Standing water near your house’s foundation will eventually erode the soil underneath the home and cause settling which can lead to enormous repairs.
