What is French Drain & Sump Pump Installation?
French drain and sump pump installation is a comprehensive water management system that combines perimeter drainage with active water removal to create the ultimate protection against basement flooding and foundation water damage. This integrated approach addresses water intrusion at multiple points, from initial collection to final removal.
In Kansas City's challenging clay soil conditions, this combination system is especially effective. French drains intercept groundwater before it reaches your foundation walls, while sump pumps actively remove collected water. Together, they create a defensive barrier that prevents water accumulation and reduces hydrostatic pressure that threatens your foundation.
