French Drain in San Antonio.

Persistent wet areas need a site-specific response. A French drain may be part of that response, but the first step is understanding where water comes from, how it moves, and where it can appropriately discharge.

Start with the water route across the whole property.

San Antonio’s Development Services resources are the starting point for questions about the approval path for proposed construction. Before treating a drainage improvement as an isolated trench, identify whether the work changes grades, crosses shared areas, or connects to another drainage feature.

For a townhome or apartment property, trace water arriving from roofs, paving, and neighboring landscape areas. For a home, photograph the wet location during and after rain. Ask where collected water can responsibly discharge and how that route will be maintained. Subsurface collection, surface grading, and downspout work solve different problems.

Local reference: San Antonio development guidance. Confirm requirements for your address and scope with the responsible authority.
