Questions
Standing Water FAQs
What is the difference between French drains and surface drains?
French drains move subsurface water through a buried system, while surface drains collect water from low points or hard surfaces.
Can drainage work protect a foundation?
Drainage can help route water away from the home, but the right solution depends on grade, soil, roof runoff, and site layout.
Can drainage be done before sod or hardscape?
Yes. Drainage should often be handled before installing new sod, gravel, stone, or concrete features.
