What is a French drain?

A French drain (also called a drain tile, weeping tile, or perimeter drain) is a basement drainage system that uses a perforated pipe and gravel to collect excess groundwater and redirect it away from your foundation. French drains reduce the risk of basement flooding, water damage, and structural issues — saving you from costly repairs over time.

Types of French drain systems

Different problems require the right tools to fix them. Each of our drainage systems is designed to address a unique challenge you may be facing. Some of these challenges involve the way your home has been designed, while others address unusual basement water issues, such as iron ochre. We offer a wide selection of French drain systems to choose from.

WaterGuard® Below Floor Drain

For a typical basement, our WaterGuard® system is the ideal choice for waterproofing. This French drain collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump.

WaterGuard® is designed to be installed below the floor slab on top of the foundation footing. It is installed with minimal invasion of the slab, and all concrete is restored after installation.
DryTrak® Baseboard Drain Pipe

If your house has a monolithic foundation—or a foundation that comes with the floor and footing as one piece—we use our DryTrak® system. This system installs over the top of the floor, eliminating the need for excessive excavation.
FlowGuard® Thin Floor Drain System

Sometimes the concrete floor in a basement is too thin for a drain to be installed on top of the footer—we address this challenge with our FlowGuard® system. This system is designed to sit in front of the footing in a bed of drainage stone. After installation, the concrete floor is restored over the drain.
WaterGuard® IOS Iron Ochre Perimeter Drain

If iron bacteria is present in your water, it will create a gelatinous, rust-colored substance known as iron ochre. This material is notorious for smelling terrible, staining everything it touches, and clogging drainage systems. Our experts tackle this rare problem with our WaterGuard® IOS Basement Drain.

This product is a modified version of our WaterGuard® system that includes an extra-wide drain channel, larger drainage openings, and a removable lid to allow for easy maintenance if clogged. This system will protect your home from iron ochre while helping prevent any water from seeping into your basement.
TrenchDrain™ Grated Drain Pipe

For many homeowners, preventing flooding from an outer entryway such as a hatchway, garage door, or doorway is a priority. In this case, we use the TrenchDrain™ Grated Drain Pipe to span the opening and prevent water from flowing into your basement. The grated opening of this system is designed to accept water from the floor, where it's then redirected to your perimeter drain and your sump pump.
TrenchLock™ Drain Inserts

Trench drains have the unintended consequence of allowing air from drainage channels and the ground into the home. This air may contain hazardous radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. TrenchLock™ is an insert that can be installed in an existing trench drain to allow water down without allowing unwanted ground air to come up and enter your home.

French drain system questions & answers

Yes, if your home has leaks, pooling water, or damp walls in the basement, a French drain is one of the most effective solutions. The system redirects water away from the foundation before it can cause damage. Not every basement is the same—there's no one-size-fits-all fix. That's why we start with a professional inspection to identify the source of the problem and recommend the right drainage system for your home. We also ensure that all waterproofing components work together to create a cohesive, long-lasting solution that keeps your basement dry for good.

Cypress Foundation Solutions professionally installs our French drain systems using quality materials, so they can last for 30 years or more. Proper design, placement, and maintenance are also key to ensure long-lasting protection and performance. Our patented systems use durable components, a proven design, and are installed by skilled contractors to maximize the lifespan of your system!

The French drain directs water to the sump pump system, which expels water out of the home and away from the foundation. This prevents pooling water and moisture from seeping into the basement or crawl space. Our professionals will inspect the space and identify where these systems should go based on the home's layout and drainage needs.

A French drain can fail simply because it is installed in the wrong location or without proper grading. A professional knows a French drain should never be installed where water cannot properly flow away, such as flat terrain lacking a drainage outlet, or too close to septic systems, utility lines, or areas with heavy tree roots that could damage the system. Plus, they will also consider the soil type, since dense clay can limit how effectively water enters the system.

[Company] ensures your French drain system is expertly designed, professionally installed, and properly connected to an appropriate discharge point, delivering reliable, long-term protection for your home.
