French Drain Installation in Virginia


Evergreen Basement Systems installs a state-of-the-art French drain-type (aka drain tile) system called WaterGuard – a patented product only available through Basement Systems dealers.

French drain or drain tile

What makes WaterGuard much more effective than a basic French drain or drain tile system is its breakthrough, patented design. 

WaterGuard is specially engineered to sit on the basement footing, keeping it up out of the dirt and mud, making it highly resistant to clogging. A special flange also makes a clean edge at the basement wall, preventing dirt and debris from falling into the system, while also draining any wall seepage.

History of French Drains in VA

Drain tile and French drain first started to be used in Virginia basement waterproofing projects in the 1920s. Originally designed with clay tile, French drain and drain tile was designed by Henry French in Concord. Given the time, this was an excellent solution. Today, this drainage system lives on and is generally made out of large, round plastic piping. However, since the 1990s, a more effective alternative has been developed – the WaterGuard drainage channel system.

French drain systems are usually designed with PVC pipe that is perforated and installed along the interior perimeter of the foundation, or along the exterior as the home is built. Laid underneath the basement floor, it drains water to a gravity drain (uncommon) or to a sump pump (very common).

All over Evergreen Basement Systems has pulled out many clogged basement waterproofing systems that use French drain and drain tile in Virgina.

Clogged Drain Tile

In VA - especially in Richmond, Roanoke, Martinsville, Danville, Chester and surrounding areas - homeowners with wet basements find themselves continually frustrated with failing French drains that lead to flooded basements (another clogged drain tile pipe shown right).

Let Evergreen Basement Systems solve your wet basement problem once and for all - and we supply a written, transferable lifetime warranty on our waterproofing system.
