Water Pooling Around Your Home?
A French Drain Might Be Exactly What You Need.
When water doesn’t drain properly, your home pays the price.
It starts with puddles near the foundation, soft spots in the yard, or a musty smell creeping into the basement.
And left long enough, it ends in cracked foundations, mold, flooding, and thousands in repairs.
At UPR, we see it all the time. And when the problem is poor drainage — especially around the perimeter of your home — one of the most effective solutions is a French drain.
Simple. Smart. Hidden underground.
French drains move water away from your home — before it can become a threat.
What Is a French Drain?
A French drain isn’t a fancy European invention.
It’s a buried trench that contains a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, designed to redirect water naturally downhill and away from your home.
It’s quiet. Passive. And incredibly effective.
When installed correctly, it prevents water from pooling around your foundation, seeping into your basement, or eroding your yard.
But the key phrase there is: installed correctly.
That’s where we come in.
UPR’s Approach to French Drain Installation
We don’t just dig a trench and call it a day.
At UPR, every installation starts with a drainage assessment. We look at the slope, soil type, property layout, and water flow patterns to ensure the drain actually does its job — and keeps doing it for decades.
Once we plan the layout, we excavate carefully, install high-quality perforated pipe, and surround it with the proper drainage stone. Then we backfill and restore your yard to look as if we were never there — except now your water drains the way it should.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just results.
Is a French Drain Right for You?
Not every water issue needs a French drain — but when it’s the right solution, it works wonders.
You might need one if:
Water pools near your foundation after rain
Your basement shows signs of moisture or musty odor
Your lawn stays soggy long after the rain ends
You’ve tried other solutions but water still lingers
Our team will walk your property with you, explain your options, and tell you honestly if a French drain is the right fix — or if something else would work better.
Permanent Protection for Your Home
The best part of a French drain? Once it’s in, it does its job silently.
No switches. No maintenance. Just peace of mind every time it rains.
At UPR, we’ve installed hundreds of them across Toronto — from tight urban yards to sprawling suburban properties — and we do it with the same care we’d give our own homes.
So if you’re tired of guessing where the water will go next…
Let’s give it somewhere better to be.
