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.

Gene Johnson is a great company, not only for their great prices but for their wonderful customer service! Our toilet was backed for almost a week while my wife and I tried to look for reasonable price but we settled on Gene Johnson. The plumber that came out to fix our issue, Armando, really brightened our day and did a fantastic job 💪! Thank you Armando and thank you Gene Johnson !

Gene Johnson has done plumbing work for us in the past so we called them to come out and address what we thought was a smelly drain. Mark O. came yesterday and worked so hard to find the cause of the funky odor. He went above and beyond, exhausting all efforts, explaining everything to me along the way. In the end, nothing was found that would indicate there was an issue with our plumbing. Mark provided a few options without making me feel pressured to make an immediate decision. He was apologetic about not being able to find and fix the issue, but he really did make every effort and I was at least glad to know that our plumbing seems to be in good shape. Thank you, Mark!
Michael Cook

We had a new installation of a tankless hot water heater by Steven Fritz today and it was an amazingly painless and actually interesting procedure! He was very thorough and explained things fully and carefully and got the job done in a single day. Really impressive!
Catherine Hawley
We discovered very early in the morning that our hot water tank was leaking. I called Gene Johnson plumbing. The scheduler was efficient and thorough. About 15 minutes after I ended that call I received one from Pavel along with an email that he was on his way. He assessed the situation and got right to work. We now have a very functional new hot water heater, thanks to Pavel and Nathan. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Would happily recommend their services to friends and family.
Leah Grimshaw
Jaren came out today to fix our bathtub, which was significantly clogged. This was my first-ever experience calling a plumber, and it was terrific from start to finish. The person I spoke with to book was friendly and efficient. They were able to get me in the same day, and I appreciated receiving a text letting us know when the plumber would arrive, along with a picture of who would be coming. I also appreciated Jaren calling us to let us know he was going to be early and to check with us if that was okay. Jaren was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He did a fantastic job all around. He had excellent communication with us and our HOA, and this was the best experience I’ve ever had with someone coming into my home for repairs. I am so happy my bathtub is back to normal, and I will recommend Gene Johnson to any of my friends and family. Jaren honestly made a nightmare situation manageable and even pleasant! Thank you again so much!

Rachel Doerflinger
Gene Johnson is incredible to work with. They assigned me a human customer care rep through text message named Samara who has been so amazingly helpful and caring during this whole frustrating leak process. Our technicians Greg and Rory who visited us a few different times were simply amazing, so understanding, and always helpful with an extremely positive attitude even when new issues arose. Tyler, the waterline team leader and expert, was so accommodating and understanding and made sure to set things up for me with Samara for an effortless scheduling experience on my end. Gene Johnson made me feel like family. Thank you so much. ❤️
