What is a French Drain System?
A French drain, which may also be called a curtain drain, perimeter drain, weeping tile, or agricultural drain, is a gravel-filled trench that includes a perforated or slotted pipe. These drains are used to direct surface water or ground water away from a specific area, such as a home’s foundation. French drains direct surface level water toward the lowest point and allow it to seep through the surf ace level gravel into the drain.
A light weight and all-in-one drainage solution, EZflow requires no gravel. Polystyrene aggregate completely surrounds the outside of a drainage pipe, providing a consistent in infiltrative area for the absorption and removal of water. Uniform size and shape of the aggregate delivers optimal permeability.
