Tulsa French Drain Cost Calculator
Want a ballpark before anyone comes out? Put in the length of drain you need and get a rough range.
No email, no phone number, nothing to fill out first. The range shows as soon as you enter your numbers.
How to use it
Yard drain length. Enter the feet of yard drain, in whole feet. Pace or tape the path the drain would follow, from where water collects to where it can be let out. Leave it at 0 if you don't need one.
Foundation drain length. Enter the feet of foundation drain, in whole feet. Measure along the walls of the house that need the drain. Leave it at 0 if you don't need one.
Sump basin and pump. Tick this if water can't drain away downhill and needs a pump.
Each length is 0, or from 25 to 250 feet. Not sure which drain you need? Water out in the yard is a yard drain. Water against the house is a foundation drain.
Downspout lines, dry wells, catch basins, and basement or crawl space drains are not included here and are quoted after inspection.
What moves the price
- Depth. Foundation drains go down to the footing, so they are priced on their own, above yard drains per foot.
- Length. The more feet of trench, pipe and gravel, the higher the range.
- Where the water can be let out. A short run downhill is simpler than a long run. Where there is no downhill, a sump and pump adds to the job.
- How hard the ground is to dig. Hard or rocky ground takes longer.
- What is in the way. Tree roots, buried lines, patios, walkways and fences.
- Access. A narrow side yard or a fenced backyard changes how the trench gets dug.
- Putting things back. Restoring lawn, beds or paving may cost extra.
What the calculator does not price
- Downspout lines, pop-up emitters, dry wells and catch basins. These are quoted after inspection. For downspouts, see downspout drainage.
- Basement and crawl space drains. Interior drains are quoted after inspection.
- Lawn, bed and paving restoration. It depends on what is there.
- Permits. No permit cost is included.
