French Drain—  When Correctly Installed, A French Drain can provide a wide variety of solutions to water problems and can become MAINTENANCE FREE!  I HAVE INSTALLED FRENCH DRAINS AS FAR BACK AS 1993 THAT STILL WORK PERFECTLY.

Many people don’t really know what a French Drain is.  Below is a Drainage System we installed in Guthrie.

This Is Not A French Drain!  This Is A Surface Drain.

 

This Is Also Not A French Drain.  It Is A Channel Drain.

A French Drain is a Perforated Pipe in the bottom of a trench with gravel on top of the pipe.  The Perforated Pipe has a Cloth Filter around it and there is a Trench Liner inside the Drainage Trench.  Typically, a Drainage Trench is first dug across a low area that has problems with water standing on it.  Once the Drainage Trench is completed and the dirt is removed, a trench liner is put in the trench.  Next a Perforated French Drain Pipe with thousands of small holes in it, is placed in the bottom of the trench on top of the Trench liner.

Once this is done.  Gravel is placed on top of the pipe filling the trench.

The gravel area that you see above is called the “Induction Area.  It is connected to a solid drain pipe which is called the “Transition.”

The Transition Pipe takes the water to the Exit Point.

Recently Oklahoma Drainage  Installed a French Drain as part of a Drainage System in Mid West City Oklahoma.

Our customer had a back porch Sun Room.  Every time he had a hard rain, Water would run in one door and out the other.  An indoor creek across his Sun Room.

We installed a French Drain in front of the South Door.  It was 26 feet long and ran from a gutter downspout which it was connected to,  in front of the South Door and along the house covering the entire “Low” Area.  Then we connected 4 inch ADS Solid Drain pipe to the French Drain and ran down hill around the corner of the house to the street.

Once the 4-inch solid drainpipe was connected to the French Drain and the two gutter down spouts, a pop-up emitter was installed to release the water at the street.

The next step was to cover the drainpipe with dirt and put the sod back in place on top of the pipe.   There was about 8 wheelbarrows of dirt left over that was displaced by the drain pipe and the French Drain.  The extra dirt was scooped up and hauled away.

Here is the completed Decorative French Drain

While installing the drainage system, it was necessary to move two sprinkler heads that were in the way of the drain pipe installation.  This was no problem.  Installing drainage systems and French drains for folks who have a sprinkler system is very common.  Moving Sprinkler heads or pipes sometimes is necessary.  We always leave the sprinkler system in complete working order and we discuss any changes in the sprinkler system with the customer before we do it to make sure that everyone is on the same page.  In most cases the customer cant tell that we made any changes to the sprinkler system at all.
