A basic French drain involves digging a sloped trench (1% grade minimum), lining with landscape fabric, laying perforated pipe on gravel bed, covering with more gravel, and wrapping the fabric. Route to daylight or a dry well.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for complex drainage problems, if the solution requires connecting to municipal storm drains, for significant regrading, or when waterproofing is needed in conjunction with drainage.
