Factors Affecting French Drain Installation Costs
The cost of a drainage system depends primarily on the total perimeter of the building that needs to be excavated. The larger the home's perimeter, the greater the volume of soil that must be removed. The required excavation depth also affects the work time and the size of excavators needed. Exterior obstacles such as balconies, paved driveways or municipal pipes can increase the complexity of the project.
The choice of filter materials, waterproofing membrane and crushed stone also affects the cost. A complete assessment of your property therefore makes it possible to prepare a detailed estimate tailored precisely to the configuration of your foundation.
Installation and Replacement of Underground Drainage
French drain installation involves placing perforated piping around the foundation footing to direct groundwater towards a safe discharge point. This service is recommended for new homes as well as older homes experiencing recurring water accumulation in the basement.
The work includes perimeter excavation, concrete cleaning and foundation waterproofing with watertight membranes. The system is then covered with clean stone and geotextile fabric to help prevent clogging. This drainage system helps prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up against below-ground structures.
