Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a French drain and a dry well?
A French drain is a perforated pipe in a gravel bed that intercepts and redirects water to a discharge point. A dry well is an underground chamber that collects water and lets it slowly percolate into the soil. French drains move water away. Dry wells absorb it on-site. The right choice depends on your property’s drainage conditions and where the water needs to go.
How much do drainage solutions cost in Connecticut?
Costs vary by solution type and scope. Downspout extensions typically cost $200 to $600. French drains cost $30 to $60 per linear foot. Dry wells cost $1,500 to $3,500 installed. We provide free on-site assessments with exact pricing before any work begins.
Can you fix standing water in my yard?
In most cases, yes. Standing water is caused by grading issues, soil composition, poor drainage, or inadequate downspout management. We assess the cause and recommend the appropriate solution — which might be regrading, a French drain, a dry well, or simply extending your downspout discharge. For comprehensive drainage projects, our sister company CT Drainage Pro at ctdrainagepro.com provides dedicated drainage services.
Will a downspout extension solve my basement moisture problem?
It depends on the cause. If the moisture is from concentrated roof water pooling at your foundation — which is the most common cause — extending the downspout discharge 10 to 20 feet away from the house often solves the problem. If the moisture is from groundwater pressure, a more comprehensive drainage solution is needed.
