Boise's Specialist for Stabilization
Protect your home from Boise’s high water table and clay soil with a custom-engineered French drain system.
Why You Need a French Drain in Boise
In Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley, three distinct factors combine to create a "perfect storm" for foundation water damage:
- The Clay Layer: Hardpan clay prevents deep soaking, pushing water horizontally toward your foundation.
- Flood Irrigation: Canal water raises the water table for 6 months a year, creating hydrostatic pressure.
- Foothills Runoff: "Slope creep" and subsurface flow can destabilize foundations if not intercepted.
How Our System Works
We don't believe in "band-aid" solutions. Here is our rigorous 5-step process:
- Inspection & Laser Grading: Identifying the water source and ensuring a 1% gravity slope.
- Strategic Excavation: Digging 18-24" trenches while protecting your landscaping.
- The "Burrito Wrap": Lining the trench with heavy-duty geotextile fabric to block silt—crucial for Boise soil.
- Pipe & Rock: Installing rigid PVC (not crushable corrugated pipe) and washed drain rock.
- Restoration: Re-sodding or xeriscaping so your yard looks untouched.
Why Professional Installation Matters
DIY drains often fail due to wrong slope, poor materials (flexible pipe), or lack of filtration fabric. We offer a 5-Year Transferable Warranty because we build it right the first time.
