French Drain
Why
-Direct water away from areas where it might seep into your basement, protecting your foundation and keeping the space dry.
-Water can seep into the basement through cracks in the foundation or walls, leading to moisture, mold growth, or even structural damage. The French drain helps manage and control water flow, preventing these issues.
