French Drain System in Auburndale, FL

Kathy and Makaela S. were experiencing ongoing moisture intrusion on the back patio of their Auburndale, Florida home, which eventually led to mold growth along the baseboards. Concerned about the impact on their home and foundation, they contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a professional assessment. After a thorough inspection, LRE identified soil settlement and washed-out soils as the primary causes of the drainage failure. To address these issues, the team designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on long-term moisture control and foundation protection. The system included an EZ-Flow French drain to capture and redirect groundwater away from the patio, along with a sump pump installation to efficiently collect and discharge excess water to a safe location in the yard. This integrated subsurface drainage system works together to prevent water buildup and intrusion, all while remaining buried for a clean, unobtrusive appearance. With proper drainage and water management restored, Kathy and Makaela can now enjoy a dry patio and peace of mind knowing their home is protected.
