Mares & Dow – General Home Contractors
Use French Drains to Control Your Water Problem
Serving San Francisco and East Bay Since 1983
An abundance of standing water around your house or building can be a big problem, as it might hurt the base of your building and lead to other substantial issues. With that said, it’s best to take precautions now, like ensuring proper drainage, to fight against potential problems in the future; French drains are a great way to move water away from your place and stop it from accumulating. Experienced Mares & Dow Construction & Skylights technicians have worked with residential and commercial property owners alike throughout the Bay Area for decades, so we’re sure we can help you find the ideal drainage solution and complete a prompt installation.
Why Consider French Drains
There are several drainage options available, and many of them may be suitable for your property; that said, if your property exhibits any of these warning signs, French drains may be particularly ideal:
- Noticeable new cracks in your building's foundation
- Pools of standing water throughout your yard
- A constantly wet, soggy, muddy yard
- Leaks in your foundation
- Frequently pooling water in your basement or crawl space
French drainages work to prevent water from pooling throughout your property and protect your building’s structural integrity.
