French drains: what are they and why you need them

The puddles around the house, the walls splashed with dirty splashes, the peeling paint of the facade – these are just the aesthetic consequences of the lack of rainwater runoff from the roof. It is necessary for the strength and durability of the building. French drain will help you solve this problem.

What are drainage systems for?

Protecting houses from moisture is the main role of drainage systems. If there is no outflow of atmospheric precipitation from the roof, the building is damaged under the influence of moisture:

  1. The brickwork is crumbling. Water gets into the seams. In autumn and winter, it alternately freezes, melts, violating the integrity of the material.
  2. The plaster cracks, flakes and swells.
  3. Facade tile elements fall out.
  4. Moisture penetrates into the supports of a building sheathed with clapboard or siding. Beams can rot and require costly overhaul.
  5. Dampness penetrates between the basement and the base, the blind area and the foundation of buildings. The supports are destroyed, which leads to an emergency state of the house.

If you do not control the water, mold will form on the roof and walls and grow inside the premises. It spoils the finish and harms people’s health. A French drain in the basement is also necessary because dampness can damage electrical wiring or cause a short circuit. If you are interested in the “French drain basement installation near me” request, we recommend that you contact our representatives for detailed information.
