Drainage & French Drain Installation
Standing water or runoff problems in a yard usually need a real drainage solution — a French drain routed to move water away from where it's pooling. NorTech connects you with a vetted local provider for the assessment, trenching, and installation, up-front.

Drainage and French drain installation across the Bay Area
A yard that stays soggy long after Bay Area rains, or water that consistently pools near the foundation, points to a drainage problem a French drain is built to solve. NorTech connects you with a background-checked provider who assesses where water is coming from and pooling, trenches the drain path, installs drain pipe and gravel, and routes the outlet to a safe discharge point.
How a French drain actually works
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that intercepts water moving through the soil and redirects it to a safe discharge point before it can pool where you don't want it. The assessment is what determines the right path and depth for your specific yard's grading and water source — a drain installed in the wrong spot doesn't solve the problem.
French drains vs. surface grading
Some drainage problems are solved by regrading the surface to direct water away naturally, while others need a French drain to intercept water moving underground. The assessment determines which approach — or combination — actually fits the specific problem in your yard.
