Foundation Drain System
Most homes built today have foundation drains to drain the water gathered around the bottom of the foundation away from the foundation to prevent it from leaking into the basement. The term foundation drain is frequently referred to as a French drain as they operate on the same principle, a ditch filled with gravel or stones that will provide a path for water to be diverted. Most basements that have water leakage problems are associated with the drainage system. The typical problems associated with drainage systems are that they are inadequate or the drainage system becomes clogged at the outlet.
