WastePro French Drain Installation

Standing water, soggy areas, erosion, and poor drainage can damage your landscaping and create problems around your home, driveway, foundation, and septic system. A properly designed French drain can help collect excess groundwater and redirect it to an appropriate discharge location.

At WastePro Septic & Groundworks, we provide professional French drain installation and yard drainage solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Southeastern North Carolina.

A French drain may be an effective solution if you're experiencing:

• Standing Water After Rain 
• Soggy or Saturated Areas of Your Yard 
• Water Collecting Near Your Foundation 
• Poorly Draining Low Spots 
• Water Flowing Toward Your Home 
• Landscape & Soil Erosion 
• Persistent Muddy Areas 
• Water Collecting Along Driveways or Walkways 
• Drainage Problems Caused by Slopes or Grading 

A French drain is an underground drainage system designed to collect and redirect excess water.

A typical installation consists of a properly graded trench containing perforated drainage pipe surrounded by clean drainage stone and filter fabric. Water enters through the stone and perforated pipe and is carried away from the problem area to an appropriate outlet or drainage location.

Simply putting pipe and gravel in the ground doesn't guarantee that a French drain will work.

Proper performance depends on factors such as:

• Existing Property Grade 
• Drain Location 
• Trench Depth 
• Proper Slope 
• Pipe Size 
• Soil Conditions 
• Drainage Stone 
• Filter Fabric 
• Available Discharge Location 
• Amount and Source of Water 

WastePro evaluates the drainage problem first so we can determine where the water is coming from and where it needs to go before recommending a solution.

Sometimes a French drain is only one part of the solution. Depending on your property, WastePro can incorporate additional drainage improvements such as:

• Catch Basins 
• Downspout Drainage 
• Solid Underground Drainage Pipe 
• Channel Drains 
• Swales 
• Culverts 
• Grading & Regrading 
• Yard Drainage Correction 
• Erosion Control 
• Drainage Excavation 

Because we have our own excavation equipment, we can handle the trenching, drainage installation, grading, and site restoration as part of one project.

The goal isn't simply to make standing water disappear temporarily. We want to identify the drainage problem and install a system designed to manage water properly and protect your property long term.
