French Drains in Dallas TX — Keep Water Away From Your Foundation

Water is the number one enemy of foundations in the Dallas area. When rainwater pools near your home's foundation, it saturates the clay soil, causes it to swell, and puts pressure on the foundation from the side. When it dries out, the soil contracts and pulls away. This cycle is what causes most of the foundation settlement we see in DFW homes. A French drain is one of the most effective ways to break that cycle. Texpro Foundation Repair installs French drains throughout the Dallas area. Call 972-330-2652 for a free drainage assessment.

When You Need a French Drain

You need a French drain when water consistently pools near your foundation after rain, when your yard slopes toward your home, when you have a low spot in your yard that stays wet for days after a storm, or when you've already had foundation repairs and want to protect your investment. French drains are also recommended when you have a retaining wall that's holding back water, or when your downspouts are discharging water too close to the foundation. If you're seeing foundation cracks and you also have drainage problems, fixing the drainage is often the first step.

Our French Drain Installation Process

We start by assessing your yard's drainage patterns and identifying where water is entering and where it needs to go. We then excavate a trench along the path the water needs to travel, line it with filter fabric, fill it with gravel, and install a perforated pipe that collects the water and carries it to a safe discharge point — typically a street, alley, or drainage easement. The trench is then covered and the yard is restored. Most French drain installations are completed in one day.
