Servicing all of Central and Western Oklahoma since 1993.
Hard rain and flooding seem to be more common all the time. When I started this business in 1993, having over an inch of rainfall in an hour was pretty extreme. Now having over 4 inch an hour rainfall is not unheard of and is becoming more common.
Protecting our homes and businesses from unwanted water should be a goal for all of us.
Oklahoma Drainage has seen and dealt with virtually every possible Drainage and Standing water problem that can occur in or around your home. With over 2700 Drainage Systems installed since 1993, we have amassed a great deal of experience. This is helpful in seeing underlying problems. We look for Secondary Water Issues not just the Primary ones. In this business EXPERIENCE TRULY COUNTS!
Hiring your brother- in- law or a Landscape Company to put in your Drainage System is a bad idea. If a landscape company also installs French Drains, you should run!
Why don’t they specialize??? Does your Lawyer also do physical therapy?
Some Builders also make bad choices concerning drainage on new homes they are building. New houses should not have problems with water. Builders usually have a landscape company that installs their drains. Sometimes it’s a maintenance guy that works for the builder. It’s Usually the cheapest fix possible. I’ve testified in more than one class action lawsuit where a whole housing sub-division had unnecessary Drainage Issues.
Water can cause a huge amount of damage. How important is your money and your home? Over 30% of the work done by Oklahoma Drainage is fixing other people’s mistakes. I appreciate the work, but I get frustrated when bad things happen to good people concerning water!

French Drain Installation has been an area of focus for Oklahoma Drainage for the past 30 years. During that time we have installed over 2000 French Drains in Central and Western Oklahoma .
A French Drain is one of several types of Drains that can make – up a Drainage System. French Drains are intended to move large amounts of water away from a Problem Drainage Area. Water may be standing in that area, flowing across the area on the surface, or flowing across the area below ground or “Sub Surface.” A French Drain can remove Standing Water, Water Flow at ground level, or water flow below ground level. (Surface Drains can’t do this!)
A French Drain many is used to move water away from or protect foundations. A French Drain will move both Surface Water and Sub Surface water away from a buildings foundation to an Exit Point where the water can be released without doing damage.

Installing French Drain under sidewalk
French Drain Installation this week was a little more difficult than normal. Many times the route that a Perforated French Drainpipe must travel to its exit point is not very easy from an installation point of view. French Drains may have to travel through tree roots, (big ones) under sidewalks, through retaining walls, around swing sets or dog kennels or Mom’s Prize Rose Bush.
The 4 inch French Drain we installed this week was in Oklahoma City south of 23rd in an old part of town where all the houses were old 2 or 3 story homes with lots of huge Elm Trees. The Elm Tree in Question actually was just an old stump that had been topped out but not completely removed. They left the roots just for us! The roots were growing into the homes foundation and were right in the way of the path of the French Drain. Forty feet of solid Elm Roots and 4 chain-saw blades later We were successful in running a new French Drain through a tree stump. Yuck! “Well you gotta do what you gotta do!”

A little info about French Drainpipe and Tree Roots. Normally tree roots don’t seek out and penetrate French Drainpipe. Tree roots seek moisture and residual water that may stay inside Solid Drainpipe. French Drainpipe is perforated. Water that does not reach the exit point of the French Drain will seep out of the Pipe into the surrounding dirt. Solid Drainpipe that is used with Surface Drains can be penetrated and eventually clogged by roots if the pipe does not have good slope or “Fall”. If the solid pipe does not drain well and has residual water, tree roots will seek it out.
