Renovation Questions

What is the purpose of a French drain in basement renovation?

A French drain is used in basement renovation to help manage and redirect water away from the foundation of a house. Its main purpose is to prevent water from seeping into the basement, which can cause flooding or dampness. This is achieved by installing a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects and channels water away from the building. By doing so, a French drain helps keep the basement dry and protects the structural integrity of the home.
