What we install
French drains
Perforated PVC in a crushed-rock envelope with filter fabric. Designed for the specific drainage challenge on your Fort Worth lot — not a one-size kit.
Surface drains & catch basins
Yard inlets that capture pooling water and downspout overflow before it sits against the foundation or backs up onto a patio.
Downspout extensions
Buried PVC runs that carry roof water well past the slab perimeter. The fastest fix for recurring foundation moisture on Fort Worth suburban lots.
Regrading & swales
Correct builder-grade slopes that drain toward the house. Common on Fort Worth newer subdivisions where grade was set too flat.
Combined drainage systems
Most Fort Worth drainage problems require more than one solution. We design French drains, surface drains, and downspout routing as one integrated system.
Fort Worth drainage FAQs
How much does a French drain cost in Fort Worth?
Most residential French drains in Fort Worth run $30-70 per linear foot installed. Full residential systems typically land in the $2,500-$8,000 range depending on lot size, soil conditions, discharge options, and whether regrading is needed. Every quote is itemized.
Which parts of Fort Worth do you serve?
We primarily serve west and southwest Fort Worth — neighborhoods in the 76008, 76116, 76132, 76133, 76134, and adjacent zip codes. If you are in Benbrook, Westover Hills, Ridgmar, or western suburbs, we cover your area.
Why does Fort Worth clay cause so many drainage problems?
Tarrant County clay absorbs water slowly and becomes nearly impermeable when wet. Builders often grade lots to minimum code slope — enough in dry conditions, not enough in a 3-inch rain. Once water backs up against a slab, it finds every crack and seam. A properly designed French drain intercepts it before it gets there.
Will a French drain hurt my foundation?
Done correctly, a French drain protects the foundation by removing standing water before hydrostatic pressure builds up. We design discharge routes to avoid dumping water near any foundation — the system is engineered so water flows away from all structures on the property.
How long does French drain installation take?
A standard 80-120 linear foot system takes 2-3 days. Larger systems with regrading or multiple drain types can take 4-6 days. The written proposal includes a full project timeline before any work is scheduled.
