Perforated pipe and gravel French drain systems to intercept and redirect subsurface water from wet yards, flooded basements, and saturated planting areas.
French drains solve the subsurface water problems that surface grading and gutters can't fix. Hector designs each system based on the actual water table, soil permeability, and outlet options on your property — ensuring the drain collects where it matters and discharges effectively without creating problems downstream.
We identify the source of the water intrusion, map the flow path, and locate the best outlet — daylight slope, storm drain connection, or dry well.
A trench is dug to the correct depth and width with a consistent slope toward the outlet to ensure gravity drainage.
Filter fabric lines the trench, washed gravel is placed as a bed, perforated pipe is laid on top, and more gravel surrounds it before the fabric is folded over.
The outlet end is terminated at the chosen point — pop-up emitter, daylight opening, or catch basin — and the surface is restored with sod or topsoil and seed.
