What Are French Drains and How Do They Work?
A French drain system is an efficient drainage solution designed to divert excess water away from areas where it can cause damage. It consists of a trench filled with gravel or rock that encases a perforated pipe. This pipe collects and redirects surface water and groundwater, ensuring proper water flow and preventing standing water in your yard or around your home’s foundation.
French drains work by using gravity to guide water away from problem areas. As water enters the perforated pipe through the gravel, it flows to a designated drainage point. This simple yet effective system can help mitigate water pooling, protect crawl spaces and basements, and prevent soil erosion.
Where Are French Drains Typically Installed?
French drains are versatile and can be installed in various locations depending on your drainage needs. Common areas include:
- Yards with Poor Drainage: If water pools in your yard after rainfall, a French drain can redirect it to prevent standing water and muddy patches.
- Home Foundations: Protect your home’s foundation from excess water that can weaken structural integrity over time.
- Basements and Crawl Spaces: Prevent water from seeping into these vulnerable areas by installing a French drain system to divert groundwater.
- Driveways and Patios: French drains can manage water flow around these surfaces, preventing damage and maintaining functionality.
Proper installation depends on several factors, including soil type, water flow patterns, and the specific needs of your property.

What Problems Do French Drains Solve?
Obviously, the primary purpose of a French drain is to efficiently drain water from areas where it tends to collect and cause issues. Whether it’s surface water pooling in your yard, groundwater threatening your home’s foundation, or water creeping into your basement, a French drain system offers an effective solution to keep your property dry and protected.
Here are some common problems that French drains help solve:
- Standing Water: French drains efficiently redirect excess water away from your yard, eliminating unsightly puddles and preventing damage caused by water pooling.
- Soil Erosion: Excess water can wash away valuable topsoil, compromising your landscape’s stability and appearance. A French drain preserves your yard’s integrity by controlling water flow and preventing soil erosion.
- Basement and Crawl Space Flooding: Groundwater seeping into basements and crawl spaces can lead to costly water damage and mold growth. A properly installed French drain system keeps these areas dry and protected.
- Foundation Damage: Standing or flowing water near your home can weaken your foundation over time. French drains redirect surface water away from your home, safeguarding its structural integrity.
- Yard Drainage Issues: Poor yard drainage can make outdoor spaces unusable and harm your landscaping. By addressing water flow and redirecting excess water, French drains help create a healthier, more functional yard.
French drains aren’t just a solution—they’re the perfect drainage system for protecting your property from the risks associated with excess water. With proper installation and maintenance, they offer long-term peace of mind.

Jaren was outstanding! He stepped in and resolved a critical kitchen emergency with impressive speed and professionalism. He was extremely prompt, worked quickly, and clearly explained every step of the process. Truly exceptional service. I couldn’t be more impressed
J Fitzpatrick
Excellent work! Thank you
Kate Reingold
So grateful for the service we got from Mike K! He was patient, kind, and efficient, and I really appreciated the approachable way he talked about the plumbing issues and the costs involved. Everything was really clear, which was so helpful
Amanda Hollowell
Had a great experience with Sean he explained everything answered any questions we had. Definitely going to call again if any other issues in the future!
David Schooler
Nosh was outstanding.

Steven Fritz from Gene Johnson showed up the same morning they were contacted to diagnose a water heater problem. Repair and replacement options were identified and discussed. Replacement of old water heater was quickly accomplished with good discussion along the way as needed. I felt we got a quality installation from a quality outfit.
Morgan Hansen
Jaren was super helpful in diagnosing my water leak issue, proposing solutions, and was transparent up front about the pricing of all options. Fast, hassle-free service all around.
Amy Damerow
Steven came out to troubleshoot our guest bathroom toilet that had leaked while extended family was visiting. The toilet had been shut off for a month and we couldn’t reproduce the issue after about 15 flushes, so he gave us a bunch of tips to watch for and that if we could get it reproducing they would come back out and waive the dispatch fee. We felt this was fair, and it was good to have peace of mind that we may have solved the issue previously. He was very polite and respectful the whole visit.

Greg, Rory, and Tyler did a fantastic job replacing a leaking water line and broken shutoff valve. They were professional, and kept me in the loop. Great experience overall.
Goran Sparrman
Pavel did a great job addressing our plumbing issues. This included some major upgrades and installation of new technology for water system monitoring.
Christine J
Mark Ochoa came out to my house today for my annual plumbing inspection and did a great job. I trust no one except the techs at Gene Johnson Plumbing! Thanks again for taking care of all my plumbing needs.
John Ruze
We’re totally grateful to Gene Johnson Plumbing! We had a sudden terrible leak under one of our apartment buildings. I consider myself a good handyman, but this was above my abilities. Colton Todd sent out one of his best, and he (Sean) knew exactly what to do. Sean had to build a new T-piece, knew just what to purchase and installed a terrific (I think a) PEX piece with high quality (and cool) fittings.
It’s odd, when I’ve asked fellow Landlords, also Realtors to recommend a plumber, they (almost always) scowl and say there is absolutely no one they could recommend! Well, now there is, Gene Johnson Plumbing. They were terrific, professional, timely and saved our butts.

When we encountered a seemingly intractable water leak challenge, there could not have been anybody nicer and more professional in helping us address it than Hugo Lira-Hernandez from Gene Johnson Services. Plus he arrived much earlier, took less time, and charged less than we expected.

Carolina Lindseth
Jeff was very helpful and transparent the whole process. Thankful for their help and would choose them again without a doubt
Cathy Eckberg
Our technician arrived promptly the morning after we called, he figured out our problem in a short amount of time and then arranged to come out the next day and replace our failed pressure relief valve. We messaged our neighborhood WhatsApp group to see if others noticed increased water pressure. Hugo went above and beyond when he went to our neighbors to test their water pressures to see if they had issues. Some did. I’m sure it will lead to follow on work. He was courteous and efficient. We are happy with his work.
