How this site is put together
Figures on this site come from the American Community Survey, with the retrieval date and the published margin of error recorded for each one. Nothing is rounded to look better, and where an estimate is too uncertain to stand on it is left out rather than softened.
This site does not do the work. It connects a homeowner with a trade that does, and it says so on every page rather than in small type at the bottom. No claim is made here about licensing, insurance, crews or trucks, because those belong to the trade and not to this site.
When not to buy one
Water on the floor after a heavy rain, near one wall, with a downspout outside it. Fix the downspout first. Water that seeps through a wall in a wet spring and never in summer. Look at the grade first. A drain installed around either of those is money spent on the wrong cause.

Questions people actually ask
Does a French drain fix water in a Clinton basement?
Sometimes. Often the cause is a downspout, and a downspout should discharge at least 6 feet from the wall. Moving it costs a small fraction of a drain. A drain is the answer when water has nowhere to go, not when it is simply aimed at the wall.
When can a drain be dug in Davis County?
Frozen ground stops the work. The usual window runs about 8 months, opening once the frost is out and closing when it returns. Book about 6 weeks ahead inside that window.
How long does the work take?
Most residential runs take 1 to 3 days. Add a day when a machine cannot reach the back yard.
Who pulls the permit?
The trade doing the work pulls it in their own name, and it comes from Davis County rather than from city hall in many cases. Expect 1 inspection on a residential trench, and ask to see the permit before the first cut.
