French Drains

Solve Your Drainage Issues With a French Drain

When you have a constantly waterlogged and unsightly backyard that is impacting your outdoor activities contact Platinum Plumbing Solutions to resolve the problem. Typically Australians love spending time in their yards particularly on glorious warm days, from children playing or hosting a BBQ with family and friends. If the ground is squelchy underfoot and looking depressing we will opt to stay inside. When drainage problems occur either at home or on your commercial property looking at it daily can be unpleasant. In addition, drainage problems often lead to soil erosion and water damage, which can affect building foundations.

When inadequate drainage, especially after heavy rainfall, gets you down, call the experienced team at Platinum Plumbing Solutions for practical and affordable solutions including French drain installations.

French Drain Overview

A French drain is an effective drainage solution for managing water runoff and preventing water from settling in areas, such as basements or low-lying areas of a yard. The simple yet effective design includes a sloped trench filled with gravel or rock and contains a perforated pipe. The slope guides water into the drain and channels it to a designated area, such as a stormwater drain or dry well. When water enters the trench, it moves down to the perforated pipe, which carries it away, allowing the gravel and soil to act as natural filters. French drains are low maintenance and effective in addressing flooded yards, gardens, landscapes or areas impacted by poor drainage and prone to waterlogging. For a pristine and inviting outdoor space, call our team today.
