It’s simple: Standing water threatens your foundation’s stability. 

When Carolina rains overwhelm water drainage, a French drain system provides the solution to divert water runoff from your foundation.

Affordable Waterproofing has 60 years of mastering drainage solutions for Greensboro, NC, and North Carolina Triad properties.

Why Greensboro, NC Homes Need Drainage Systems

Clay-heavy soils create water retention and foundation problems. Without yard drainage, water accumulates around the foundation and basement walls, causing flooding, moisture, and structural damage from groundwater seepage that can clog your sewer system.

French drains redirect rainwater before problems develop. This underground drainage system captures stormwater and channels it downhill, keeping foundation walls dry and preventing water from flowing toward your footings.

Professional Drainage Solutions in Greensboro, NC

We create solutions for Greensboro’s terrain, including gutters and downspout connections, preventing erosion around your driveway and sidewalk.

Our team installs drainage systems featuring pipe sizes and slotted drain pipes, which prevent foundation settlement, basement leaks, and humidity caused by groundwater, thereby protecting structural integrity and preventing water damage to basement walls.

Our Expert French Drain Installation Process

Every French drain installation project begins with planning, excavation, and trenching using trencher equipment. Our contractors assess water flow patterns, soil composition, and existing infrastructure, including septic or sewer connections, to determine the best course of action. 

We design systems addressing your challenges within the homeowner’s budget.

Installation involves digging with a shovel and trencher, grading, and sloped placement of perforated HDPE or polyethylene drain pipe surrounded by gravel backfill and geotextile landscape fabric. 

This creates underground drainage with perforation, moving water away from problem areas. We complete installations within 1-2 days, ensuring elevation and drain line connections to prevent tree roots from causing clogs.

We use corrugated pipe, plastic pipe, PVC drain pipes, and drainage tile, along with permeable filter fabric and drainage stone, to prevent clogging from debris, silt, and sediment buildup in drainage pipes.
