Sometimes the same people have a lot more problems than others.

Here is an old thread on French drains. I don't think French drains need gravel in our sandy soil, but I am often wrong. That would make them easier and cheaper to install and still effective. Hire a LOCAL person rather than a national one. They know our soil and our conditions..


Warrenty Dept will not help.....


And remember; You can catch more flies with vinegar than you can with honey. People are human.

In 2017 vinegar and lawyers have replaced honey.

It is the difference caused by being raised with different ways of communicating. I had a set of parents who didn't like to waste time, money, or patience. It is called manners by some and as "the ability to tell someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the trip". Diplomacy. Patience. Being realistic and saying the same thing gently and calmly. I have caught a good many flies in my almost 80 years and haven't had to use a lawyer, although my family is cluttered with them.

We put in 3 French drains that run towards the street and down a sewer opening nearby. I think it was Stipes that installed them at $100 each. No problems and got rid of soggy spots.

This is what most people pay for French drains.
