French drains are distinct from ordinary surface drains in that they collect water down the full length of the drain rather than just in one location.

The location of the problem areas, the elevation nearby, and the soil quality all play a role in choosing the optimal installation location.

Add the fabric once the trench has been dug. Then, more gravel will be placed once it has been lined with landscape fabric.

At the bottom of the trench, insert a pipe with slots or holes in it. For the water to drain away from the house, the pipe must be pointed in that direction.
