Harsh weather in Oklahoma seems to be more common. In 2023, Norman Oklahoma had 4 inches of rain in two hours. That’s the most rain in a short time that I can remember. Storm-Water runoff can cause damage to all types of property and buildings. Water getting inside your house is never a good thing. A Drainage System that utilizes a French Drain can help.

Installing Decorative French Drain The Right Way
Oklahoma Drainage Installs 4 Inch and 6 French Drains.
A French Drain is the “Intake” part of a Drainage System. Simply Put, the French Drain is the part of the Drainage System that takes in the water in the low areas and gets it into the pipe.

Installing 4 Inch French Drain with Trench Liner and Pipe Filter In Blanchard Oklahoma
French Drain – A French Drain is a perforated pipe that is basically full of slits or holes. A trench is dug across the problem drainage area. A Semi-permeable liner is placed in the trench which lets in water but not dirt. The dirt from the trench is hauled away. The French Drain Pipe has a Neo-Preen Soc around it witch also lets in water but keeps the dirt out.
The perforated pipe is placed in the trench. The Drainage trench is dug deep enough so that the perforated French Drainpipe is several inches below ground level when placed in the trench. Next gravel or some type of crushed stone is placed on top and around the French Drain perforated pipe until the trench is full.

French Drain Protecting Driveway
French Drains can be complex or simple. A Simple French Drain System is a French Drain Connected to an Exit Drainpipe that is released out a pop up emitter.
An example of a complex drainage system would be: A French Drain in the back yard connected to a Surface Drain near a flower bed connected to several gutter downspouts, which are connected to a Channel Drain going across a driveway, which is connected to additional Surface Drain in the front yard, which runs to a Curb Fitting that lets all the water drain out on to the street.

Drainpipe Under Sidewalk
Here is a description of other recent work.
A little bit North of Downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Drainage installed a 6-inch French Drain between two businesses which were less than three feet apart. The French Drain went between a Law Firm and a Tire shop. Water was leaking through the walls of both businesses. Gutters between the two establishments were dumping a huge amount of water. We installed a 6-inch French Drain between the gutters.
It took a long time to get the dirt out of the trench for the French Drain. It was a very tight fit. We had to use a little red wagon to haul out the dirt for the French Drain and haul back in the crushed limestone for the French Drain. It looked a little silly, but it was the only thing we could find that was narrow enough to fit between the buildings. A French Drain that normally would take 1 day to install took three.
