French drain installation typically involves excavating a trench to a specified depth and width, laying perforated pipe within a gravel bed, and covering it with additional gravel before backfilling the excavation. The process may include grading adjustments to ensure proper water flow and drainage away from structures. Key details to evaluate requests include the size and length of the drain, the type of soil and terrain conditions, the location of the drain in relation to structures or problem areas, and any specific drainage requirements or preferences. Accurate assessment of these factors helps determine the scope of work, materials needed, and potential challenges during installation.
