Understanding French Drain Installation
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock, or containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area. French drains are highly effective solutions for preventing water accumulation and mitigating the risk of flooding or water damage. Installing a French drain is essential for homeowners facing issues with water pooling around their foundation or experiencing repeated instances of a wet yard.
Benefits of French Drain Installation
- Effectively Controls Water Flow: A French drain efficiently channels water away from vulnerable areas of your property, directing it to a designated safe zone, often reducing the risk of flooding or water-related damage.
- Improves Yard Usability: By removing excess water, the installation of a French drain allows you to maximize your outdoor space without the worry of soggy or muddy areas.
- Prevents Structural Damage: Fast removal of water from the property perimeter can protect the foundation and other structural elements of your home, which might suffer over time due to constant moisture exposure.
- Mold and Mildew Prevention: Reduce the risk of mold and mildew in your crawl space and basement with a well-installed French drain system.

Here's what they've been saying
Encapsulated our homes crawlspace in the Raleigh area. Quick, efficient, and done right. 100% recommend Benji
Just had an enclosure of 1800 sqr feet. Benji did the job for 5k less than other quote and used a thicker barrier and better dehumidifier than other quote. It looks great and he did it faster than expected. He seemed more knowledgeable than other companies and definitely an honest person I would trust.
We have had Benji do two different areas of our house as we put on an addition. His work is excellent and very thorough. Would highly recommend his company !
Benji is more than a trusted, highly skilled contractor. If it’s what you want, he can become a good friend. The best, in every way.
I’ve been in my house since 2020 and since day one, Benji has been my “guy” to call for crawlspace issues! He’s taken care of any crawlspace issues but has also been there to talk to on the phone and even FaceTime when he was out of town, just to make sure he could see what I was describing. Whenever anyone asks for a crawlspace or moisture problem, Benji is who I send.
Benji did an amazing job on encapsulating our crawl space. Very professional and communicated throughout the project. Also his pricing was extremely fair. Highly recommend!
