French Drains & Dry-Well Review in Midland, TX

A French drain collects water along a trench and carries it toward an outlet. A dry well stores water below grade and depends on the surrounding soil to accept it. Those systems solve different problems. We look for the source, the depth of restrictive material, the seasonal water level, and a location you can inspect before we recommend either one.

Caliche can interrupt infiltration even when the surface looks dry and open. A pit that drains during a small test may hold water after a cloudburst. We describe the test, the overflow path, the cleanout, and the maintenance interval in the scope. If the site needs hydraulic calculations or a permitted design, we refer that portion to the right professional.
