Photo Album: French Drain Solution in New Port Richey, Florida

Flooding around the perimeter of Douglas’s home in New Port Richey, Florida, was a persistent problem that he knew needed to be addressed. Concerned about the effects on his home’s foundation, he called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection. An LRE Design Specialist conducted a full-home inspection and found a great opportunity to install a French Drain system around the side of the house that suffered the most from flooding. This subsurface drainage alternative from more traditional systems collects and diverts excess rainwater away from the foundation through a perforated pipe and directs it to a pop-up relief drain located at the far end of the property. After the LRE team successfully installed the French Drain system around the side of Douglas’s home, he was relieved to finally be free of his home’s flooding troubles.
