Drainage System Installation Timeline: What Homeowners Should Know

Drainage system installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on your property's size, soil conditions, and system complexity. French drains and basic surface drainage usually complete faster, while comprehensive systems with multiple catch basins and underground piping require more time. Weather conditions and permit requirements can extend timelines.

Expect initial excavation and trenching on days 1-2, followed by pipe installation and gravel placement on days 3-4. Final grading, backfilling, and landscape restoration occur in the final days. Your contractor should provide a detailed timeline upfront and communicate any delays immediately. Proper drainage protects your foundation, prevents water damage, and extends the life of retaining walls and hardscaping investments.
