## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a French drain?

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your foundation to a sump pump or drainage point.

### How long do weeping tiles last?

Modern weeping tiles can last 25-50+ years. Older clay or concrete tiles may need replacement if they've become clogged or collapsed.

### Can you fix cracks from the inside?

Yes, we use epoxy and polyurethane injection to seal foundation cracks from the interior, which is effective and less invasive than exterior excavation.
