What Is a French Drain?
A French drain is a subsurface drainage system designed to redirect groundwater and surface water away from areas where it accumulates. The system typically consists of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects water and channels it to a designated discharge point — such as a storm drain, a dry well, or a lower area of the property away from structures.
French drains are particularly effective in South Arkansas due to the region’s clay-heavy soils, which drain slowly and can hold water near foundations and in low-lying yard areas after heavy rain events. When properly installed, a French drain provides a reliable long-term solution to recurring drainage problems.
Signs You May Have a Yard Drainage Problem
Drainage problems are not always visible until they cause damage. Here are common signs that your property may benefit from a French drain or yard drainage system:
- Standing water or soggy ground in your yard that persists for days after rain
- Water pooling near your home’s foundation, crawlspace, or basement
- Visible erosion channels cutting through your lawn or landscaping
- Wet or damp basement or crawlspace walls following heavy rain
- Muddy low spots in your yard that make mowing and yard use difficult
- Water intrusion into a garage, outbuilding, or low-lying structure on your property
- Neighbor’s drainage that flows across your property toward your home

Connecting Yard Drainage to Your Gutter System
Yard drainage problems are often connected to gutter and downspout performance. If your gutters are overflowing, or if your downspouts are discharging water too close to the foundation, your yard drainage system may be receiving more water than it can handle. All Pro Construction & Remodeling handles both the above-ground and below-ground drainage picture.
If you need downspout work alongside yard drainage, visit our downspout installation page to learn more. For broader gutter service needs, see our gutter services in El Dorado, AR.

Frequently Asked Questions — French Drains and Yard Drainage in El Dorado, AR
What is a French drain and how does it work?
A French drain is a subsurface drainage system that uses a gravel-filled trench and a perforated pipe to collect and redirect groundwater and surface water. Water seeps into the gravel, enters the pipe through perforations, and flows by gravity to a discharge point away from the problem area. They are commonly used to address foundation drainage, soggy yards, and water intrusion in South Arkansas clay soils.
Will a French drain solve my foundation water problem?
A properly designed French drain can significantly reduce water pressure and moisture accumulation near your foundation. However, the right solution depends on where the water is coming from, your yard’s grade, and soil conditions. All Pro Construction & Remodeling evaluates your property before recommending a drainage approach, so you get a solution that addresses the actual source of the problem.
How deep does a French drain need to be?
Depth depends on the purpose of the drain and local soil conditions. Yard drainage French drains are often installed 18 to 24 inches deep, while drains intended to address foundation water may need to go deeper to reach below the footing level. All Pro Construction & Remodeling evaluates each situation to determine the appropriate depth and design for your specific property.
Can you connect my downspouts to an underground drainage system?
Yes. All Pro Construction & Remodeling can connect your downspout discharge to an underground drainage pipe that directs roof runoff away from your foundation and into a proper discharge point on your property. This is a common solution when downspout extensions alone are not moving water far enough from the house.
Is All Pro licensed for drainage and construction work in Arkansas?
Yes. All Pro Construction & Remodeling is licensed in Arkansas and Louisiana. We carry the proper credentials and insurance required for construction, drainage, and remodeling work throughout South Arkansas.
