Professional French drain systems designed and installed for Seattle's unique soil and climate conditions.
Expert French Drain Contractors
A French drain is one of the most effective solutions for managing subsurface water and redirecting groundwater away from your home. It consists of a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects water and channels it to a safe discharge point.
In Seattle's clay-rich soils, French drains are especially important because water doesn't percolate naturally. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure builds against your foundation, leading to basement leaks, crawlspace moisture, and structural damage over time.
New Life Drainage installs French drain systems with proper slope, high-quality perforated pipe, washed gravel, and landscape fabric to ensure decades of reliable performance.
When You Need a French Drain:
- Water pooling in your yard after rain
- Basement or crawlspace moisture problems
- Water flowing toward your foundation
- Soggy areas that never dry out
- Downspout runoff saturating your yard
- Hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls
