Our story

## Built for the soil under your feet.

We started OKC French Drains because too many homeowners across the metro were paying for drainage that didn't last. The trench was right, but the slope was wrong. The pipe was right, but the exit was guessed.

We treat every job like a small engineering project. We walk the lot, check the slope and soil, find the lowest gravity-fed exit point, then design a unified system — French, surface, and channel drains working together. That's what makes a drainage install last past the next big storm.

We're licensed, bonded, and insured for excavation and drainage work, and we follow Oklahoma City code for pop-up emitters, curb fittings, and discharge points. No corner-cutting on the parts that matter.

How we work

## Engineering first. Excavation second.

### Specialists, not generalists

Drainage is what we do. We don't roof, we don't pave, and we don't pretend to. That focus is why our systems hold up after the next flash-flood storm.

### Owner on every job

Daniel walks every job site personally. The person who quoted the work is the person who designed it and the person watching the trench get cut.

### Honest about price

Exterior $10–$15/ft, interior $50–$60/ft. We tell you up front, before the dig, not after we hit a tree root.
