French Drains & Drainage in the Texas Panhandle
Standing water ruins foundations, fields and roads. Frick's Demolition & Excavation designs and digs French drains, ditches and drainage solutions across the Texas Panhandle that move water where you want it and keep your property protected.
Tight clay and caliche do not soak up a hard rain fast, so we give the water a real path out instead of letting it pool where it does damage.

Our Process
- 01
Find the water
We look at where water pools, runs and where it should go.
- 02
Plan the fall
We set a route and slope so the water actually moves.
- 03
Dig & install
We trench, bed the pipe, wrap the gravel and backfill.
- 04
Outlet & finish
We daylight the outlet and clean up.
A French drain only works if the water has somewhere to go, so we build in real slope and a proper outfall, and wrap the gravel in filter fabric so it does not silt up. Not sure if you need one? Read the 7 signs your property needs a French drain.
Drainage ties into culverts, driveways and grading, so we plan the whole water picture together.
Frequently Asked
How deep does a French drain need to be?
It depends on where the water is and where it has to go. We set the depth and slope so the drain collects the water and carries it to a lower outfall.
Will a French drain fix water in my crawlspace or shop?
Usually, yes. Damp crawlspaces and shop floors almost always trace back to poor drainage outside. Move the water and the inside dries out.
