If your yard turns into a pond after every rainstorm, or if water pools around your foundation, you’re not alone. Homes across Marietta and the greater Atlanta area face serious drainage issues due to Georgia’s dense clay soil.
A professionally installed French drain from APS Waterproofing is one of the most effective ways to redirect excess water away from your home and protect your property from long-term damage.
What Is a French Drain?
A French drain is a simple but powerful underground drainage system. It consists of a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects water away from problem areas like:
- Low spots in your yard
- Soggy lawns or gardens
- Basement walls and foundations
- Driveways or patios prone to pooling
This system ensures water flows naturally away from your home’s structure, keeping your yard dry and your foundation stable.
Signs You Need a French Drain
If you’ve noticed any of the following, your home may need professional drainage help:
- Standing water or soggy patches in your yard after rain
- Water seeping into your basement or crawl space
- Soil erosion near your foundation
- Cracks forming in your driveway or patio
- Mold or dampness along basement walls
These are early warning signs that excess groundwater isn’t draining properly — and a French drain can fix that permanently.
