French drains consist of a system of special trenches and pipes used to divert water from a specific area, such as the foundation of a house or business. French drains help reduce and prevent breakdowns and long-term water damage throughout your property. One of their main advantages is that they are durable and therefore cost effective.
Another advantage that French drains have is that they can be decorative, as they can be covered with different materials such as small rocks, plants and sometimes even decorated metal gratings, which gives an extra to this type of elements.
