Advantages of interior French drains
To install interior French drains in a basement, the first step is to jackhammer up concrete and create a trench, which usually runs around the perimeter of the basement. Next, a perforated pipe is put in the trench and surrounded by crushed gravel to keep out mud and other sediment. Then the trench is usually covered back up by a grate. Water flows from ground beneath the floor into the pipe and is carried to a pump, which pumps it out of the structure outside. French drains can be put into houses that are being constructed as well as into one that are already built.
Having french drains installed is often the best and only solution for homes built in areas that are prone to flooding. While it can be expensive to have one installed, the alternative in many cases is having a basement that is often flooded. This not only leads to aggravation but also puts the basement at risk of developing mold.
