The installation of French Drains is ideal for specific situations such as diverting rainwater from house foundations and to reduce standing water in yards that tend to get and stay soggy.
Simply put, a French Drain is a series of ditches lined with rocks or gravel that is used to draw water away from an area. It is used to protect the foundation of a house from ground and surface water that does not drain properly on its own. Using the forces of gravity, French Drains are installed down from the area to be drained to an area that can support the redirected water.
In the western Pennsylvania area, the combination of heavy rains and flat-hillside terrain creates the need for French Drains for many properties. Flooding often occurs when the top layer of soil, which contains air, becomes saturated with water. If the area is flat with nowhere to flow, it will stay in one spot for a long time until it can eventually drain. A French Drain allows the water and soil to move easily through the gravel and away from the problem area.
Trust Home and Earth can dig virtually any size trench for any type of underground structure or utility (Gas, Water, Power, Sewage). We can dig a small ditch to fix a leak or can trench for miles. We can also dig up streets to connect to public utilities or septics.
