Interior and exterior French drain systems for basements, crawl spaces, foundations, and yards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between interior and exterior French drains?
Interior French drains are installed inside the basement perimeter along the footer to collect water that has already entered and direct it to a sump pump. Exterior French drains are installed outside the foundation to intercept water before it reaches the walls. Both have appropriate applications — the right choice depends on your specific water source, property conditions, and budget. We evaluate and recommend based on what will actually solve the problem at your Huntsville property.
How much does French drain installation cost in Huntsville?
French drain costs depend on the length, depth, whether it is interior or exterior, soil conditions, and any obstacles like utilities or landscaping. We provide detailed evaluations for Huntsville properties and include all associated work in our proposals — excavation, materials, backfill, and site restoration.
