Standing water can destroy your home from the ground up. If the ground under your home is chronically wet, you can expect the resulting mold and mildew to cause issues with your air quality, as well as your foundation. 

If the ground in the crawl space under your home is persistently damp, a deep French drain around the perimeter of your property can be an effective solution. Although sometimes an interior drain is both more affordable and more effective.

If your yard remains soggy long after a rain, you may want to look into getting a French drain to help you better enjoy your property, and avoid future frustrations. 

Or maybe you’re installing a retaining wall on a slope, and want to prevent water from pooling at the base or flowing towards your foundation. A French drain behind the wall should do the trick.
