Drainage systems
Installation of drainage systems (French drain)
A French drain is a drainage pipe positioned all around a residential building. The water collected by the drain is directed toward a catch basin. The French drain helps evacuate excess groundwater, thereby preventing accumulation and hydrostatic pressure.
The installation of a French drain is designed to protect your home from moisture damage and water infiltration.

The Importance of the French Drain
Without a functional French drain, your basement can become damp, emit odors, and develop mold. During heavy rain, water can also seep under the floor at the wall-floor junction as well as through cracks.
Even if your home is new and well built, cracks can appear and seriously damage your house. Moreover, the growth of bacteria and fungi can be extremely hazardous to your health.
Why hire professionals to install your French drain?
A high-quality and properly functioning French drain has a lifespan of about 30 years. However, its life can be cut short — and it may even become unusable — if it was poorly installed or incorrectly positioned.
That’s why it’s essential to rely on experts like the team at Les Goudrons du Québec for your French drain installation.
Interior French Drain Installation
French drains are usually installed from the outside. However, in some cases, an exterior French drain is not enough.
Good to know
An interior drain can also be used when exterior excavation is not possible due to expensive landscaping, such as interlocking paving stones, a pool surround, or a concrete walkway.
