Overview
A French drain is an underground drainage system that redirects water away from your home or property. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, buried in a trench. At Millie Excavating, we install French drains that help prevent basements flooding, soggy yards, and water damage to your property. Whether you have standing water after rain or poor yard drainage, we can dig and install a system that works for you.
