French drains are one of the most effective ways to redirect water away from buildings, yards, and infrastructure. By capturing groundwater and surface runoff and channeling it through a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench, French drains relieve hydrostatic pressure and prevent water from pooling where it shouldn't. At Diversified Drainage, we design and install custom French drain systems for homes, businesses, and municipalities across the Twin Cities.Whether you're dealing with a soggy backyard, wet basement, or failing landscape drainage, we tailor each French drain to the site’s soil conditions, grading, and long-term water management goals.
