Drainage System Installation Costs: Complete Breakdown Guide

Drainage system installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $15,000, depending on the complexity and type of system required. French drains cost $10-25 per linear foot, while surface drainage systems run $8-15 per linear foot. More complex solutions like basement waterproofing or comprehensive yard drainage can reach $5,000-15,000. The final price depends on excavation requirements, pipe materials, labor intensity, and site accessibility.

Key cost factors include soil conditions, drainage length, pipe diameter, and whether the installation involves existing landscaping or hardscaping. Areas with clay soil or rocky terrain require more excavation, increasing labor costs. Professional installation ensures proper grading, appropriate materials, and compliance with local codes – critical for long-term effectiveness and avoiding costly water damage repairs.
