Why are French drains important?
French drains are your property’s only line of defense against groundwater and the harm it can cause to your property’s basement, lawn, garden, sidewalk, lawn, garden, sidewalk, or entrance. Gutters catch rain as it drips off your roof, and French drains carry the run-off away from your property. French drains need annual maintenance even though they are generally low-maintenance to avoid clogging by debris, sediment, and other foreign items.
