About Rockford French Drains

Rockford French Drains is an independent informational and referral website focused on exterior yard-drainage problems in Rockford and nearby communities. Rockford French Drains does not perform drainage construction or contracting work.

Homeowners can use the site to learn about drainage problems and submit a service request. Requests may be shared with an independent contractor that serves the area. Any contractor providing services is responsible for its own licensing, insurance, estimates, contracts and work.

Coverage is described on the service-areas pages. The work this site explains is outside the house: standing water, wet lawns, downspout runoff, surface pooling, water between homes, and grading. A French drain is one possible solution. It is not the answer to every wet yard.

Pages here are written to identify the source of the water — surface, roof, or soil — before selecting a trench, a grate, a downspout line, or a slope change. That education is the point of the resource guides and the decision page linked from the homepage.

This about page does not list years in business, crew size, licenses, certifications, awards, or a physical office. Those facts are not stated on this site. For methods and options, see drainage services. To talk through a yard, call 815-940-9441 or submit a service request.
