French Drain and Drain Tile systems in Moorpark, Santa Paula, Port Hueme, and other areas of CA have many shortcomings in their design. Installed around the edge of the basement floor, they're generally designed to channel water to a sump pump system. To help the system collect water from the walls, contractors will usually leave a gap along the edges that will catch water as it runs off.

Unfortunately, this gap allows humidity in the basement from the wet earth below, contributing to a moldy, smelly basement. Additionally, over time, these gaps will collect dust, dirt, and debris from the basement floor itself, which will clog the drains and sump pump.

Alternatively, a French drain is often installed outside of the home, where it's generally placed in a bed of stone, with stone covering it on top as well. In some cases. filter fabric is also laid on top to complete the installation.

Unfortunately, these drain tile systems are installed several feet underground and count on gravity alone to send the water that enters them outside of the home. As this dirt builds up in the drain or clogs the filter, the waterproofing systems with French drain in Camarillo, Moorpark, Goleta, and many other areas of CA clog and ultimately prove ineffective.

Clogged Drain Tile in Port Hueme What makes the WaterGuard French Drain in CA much more effective than a basic French drain or drain tile system is its innovative design. WaterGuard is specially engineered to sit on the basement footing, keeping it up out of the dirt and mud (the "Mud Zone"), creating a waterproofing system that's highly resistant to clogging. A special flange also makes a clean edge at the basement wall and prevents dirt and debris from falling into the system.

History of French Drains in California

Drain tile and French drain (also sometimes known as "weeping tile") first started to be used in CA basement waterproofing projects in the 1920s. Originally designed with clay tile, French drain and drain tile was designed by Henry French in Concord. Given the time, this was an excellent solution. Today, this drainage system lives on, and is generally made out of large, round plastic PVC pipes. However, since the 1990s, a more effective alternative has been developed – the WaterGuard drainage channel system.

In California – especially in Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Santa Barbara, Santa Clarita and surrounding areas – homeowners with wet basements find themselves continually frustrated with failing French drains that lead to flooded basements (another clogged drain tile pipe shown right).
