Professional French Drains.

A French drain is a trench in the ground with sloped perforated pipe and gravel, or similar filter, that helps to funnel and move water away from the foundation of your home. It can also be designed to help remedy an area in your yard that is always wet, and prone to flooding.

In the situation of many homes in our local Tidewater area, gutters are not enough. While gutters help to route water as it runs from the roof, French drains help to move water at the ground level.

The reason that choosing ABC Pest Management is a great solution for your home is that we are not only experts at designing and installing French drains because we understand the relationship between moisture and pests. So, when we are accessing the moisture situation, we will be keeping aware how best to act to both protect your home from moisture and pests, too.

On the note of preventative pest control, we know that excessive moisture or standing water can quickly dilute a pesticide treatment. Having this dual focus and expertise makes us a great pick to take care of both your preventative pest control and moisture control needs.

Also, standing water in a crawl space is another concern that a French drain can prohibit, and the fungus growth, termites, and rotting wood that can come along with water in a crawl space.
