At Sam's French Drains, we specialize in the installation of French drains to safeguard your property from water damage and foundation issues. A French drain is a proven method for managing excess water by collecting surface water and subsurface water, channeling it away from your home's foundation. It consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, designed to allow water to flow into the pipe while keeping out debris. This system effectively reduces water pooling, prevents soil erosion, and directs excess water to a safe drainage area, protecting your yard and home from flooding and water damage.
Whether you're dealing with constant wet spots, a soggy yard, or water seeping into your basement, a French drain is a highly efficient solution to keep your property dry and safe. Ideal for homeowners looking to solve drainage issues, French drains can also improve the health of your landscaping and prevent long-term structural damage to your foundation. Let us help you take control of your yard's drainage problems with a professional French drain installation!

I cannot say enough good things about Sam's French Drains and Landscape and the incredible job he did at my home. After dealing with several challenging months of drainage problems and surface water runoff from my neighbor's yard, I was feeling frustrated and worried about the potential long-term erosion damage to my property. From the very first conversation, Sam put my mind at ease with knowledge, honesty, and a genuine willingness to help. What stood out to me most was how Sam truly cared about doing the job right. He took the time to assess the situation thoroughly, explain the recommended solution, and answer every question I had without ever making me feel rushed. It's rare these days to find a professional like Sam that combines expertise with such outstanding customer service. Moreover, Sam was forthright and transparent about the demand in his schedule; and the wait was well worth his time. The installation of my roughly 200 foot open French drain system was handled professionally from start to finish. Sam was punctual, hardworking, respectful of my property, and kept the work area as clean as possible throughout the project. His attention to detail is impeccable and his commitment to quality craftmanship was evident every step of the way. He takes pride in the product he uses; and his systems don't fail! Sam took the time to answer every question I had; even when I knew he would tell me I was just overthinking the problem. Since the installation, the difference has been remarkable. Even after heavy rain and continued surface water runoff from my neighbor's yard, the areas that used to collect water are now draining exactly as they should. Knowing that my home and yard are better protected gives me tremendous peace of mind. If you are looking for a trustworthy French Drain installer that stands behind his work and genuinely cares about his customers, I highly recommend Sam to tackle your opportunity. He exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am truly grateful for the excellent work he performed at my residence. Thank you, Sam, for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience. Your attention to detail combined with your willingness to go the extra mile in doing what's right to help solve problems for the customer, is what truly sets you apart. Chris See more See less

Outstanding service. Sam and his team installed a french drain system at our home this month and did a fantastic job. He communicates each step of the way, takes lots of before and after photos to show you progress, is meticulous and detailed, and cares about doing it right. He found many areas on our property outside his scope that needed fixing as well and took care to do things right (I had to remind him too many times to make sure he charges us for all the work he did)! We would recommend with 5 stars to anyone that could use a professional like Sam and his team that truly cares about getting it right, and we look forward to using him again See more See less
We had Sam’s French Drain come out recently to our home with several underground landscaping drains. They hadn’t been cleared for several years and were quite clogged. We initially had trouble finding anyone even willing or able to do the work. But eventually we found “Sam’s”. Sam had the experience, the equipment—and most importantly—the desire to properly clear the drains. He did a fantastic job and takes pride in his work. I’d strongly recommend Sam (and company) if you’ve got French or buried landscape drains. He’s a pro! See more See less
Sam’s the Man! My yard drain was full of dirt and debris. Muddy water barely flowed out of the drain pipe. When Sam finished hydro cleaning the drain, the water flowing out of the drain was crystal clear. Sam worked steadily with no breaks to ensure he gave value for his hourly rate. If you want a clean yard drain and value for your money, Sam is who you want to call!!! See more See less
Recently moved and the house had a lot of issues with water accumulating by the pool pump and side of the house.

Sams French Drains has far exceeded my expectations on both quality of materials and installation, as well as follow up customer service. Sam installed a French drain system in my yard to combat some drainage issues. The components and materials used are of the highest quality, and not your store-bought cheap materials that most contractors use and mark up severely. Beyond the actual scope of the project, Sam has made it a point to make sure the system is running at its optimal efficiency, cleaning out traps, and ensuring draining is done as designed. The level of customer service both pre-sale and after, has really blown me away. A 5 year warranty is something you will not find with other companies, and Sam honors this as his standard. You will not find a better drainage company in the central Florida area. Sam keeps you well informed along the way, and is extremely honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. It’s only Sam’s French Drains for us moving forward. Thanks Sam!!!! See more See less
We recently had French drains installed at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Sam was professional, efficient, and incredibly respectful of our property. The work was done with precision and care — everything was kept neat and tidy throughout the entire process, which was especially impressive given the scope of the project. My husband is very particular about workmanship, and he was absolutely thrilled with how clean and organized Sam kept the site. The finished product looks fantastic and works perfectly. We highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for top-notch quality and attention to detail. Jaime & Jordan Ruiz See more See less

I’ll like to thank Sam. I am a contractor from The Kissimmee area working on one of my first drainage projects. In a time when no one wants to share information, Sam took over 2 hrs patiently walking me through his process to do the job! Because of him, my job went smoothly and was a success. He knows French drains and I highly recommend him as a person and contractor. Thanks, Mike See more See less
Sam had been wonderful to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable and kind. He has solved several of our drainage issues, helped with sprinklers and our irrigation pump. I cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend!! See more See less
I traveled from north Florida to Orlando to get materials from Sam and followed all his directions and tips, including his YouTube videos. We replaced a system a different contractor (not Sam) installed previously that wasn't up to par and I got tired of it failing and backing up. We did this ourselves following Sam's directions and it works flawlessly. The 3.5" FDM pipe is perfection and the pop-up emits all our roof runoff with no hassle. The pipe stays clean, and our side yard stays NOT FLOODED! The FDM products and system are the real deal and Sam will shoot you straight on how to get it done right! If you're in central Florida you're not going to get a better install than Sam's French Drains and if you're outside his install radius your best to go to him for materials and tips - more than worth your time!

Sam has done a few projects for us and we have been very happy each time. We had a downspout drainage system put in which cleared the sitting rainwater from the side of the house and a paved pathway built, along with some additional smaller jobs. Sam is very responsive, reliable and above board. All projects are reasonably priced and timelines are clear. All work is done to a very high professional standard and he goes the extra mile, checking back to ensure things are working as they should be. Always happy to support this family business. Highly recommended! See more See less
I never write reviews but this time I had to. Sam’s French drain is the way to go! I can’t stress that enough. The amount of experience and expertise by Sam is exceptional.

If you need French drain or any type of drains to keep your yard dry, look no further. Sam will not only tell you why his work his top notch but he will also show you. All materials are of exceptionally high quality and no corners are cut. Round of applause for you Sam ! Thank you for everything! See more See less
Sam is so knowledgeable and his work was impressive. Even my husband, who is hard to impress, complimented Sam's work. This man knows what he's doing. I had 4 inch drains installed in my pool deck, but then I had my yard crew install the French drains. All of them are clogged and improperly installed. Sam unearthed all the issues. He worked tirelessly until he pulled out huge root systems from my drains. No wonder rain was washing back through the enclosure into the pool. He even advised us on other drainage around the house. With hurricane season being here, we really need to correct and improve the irrigation around our pool and the house in general. I'm so glad we found him. His prices are very reasonable, too. I called another company and even though that guy was nice, his price shocked me. No thank you. We are going with Sam for all of our French drain needs. Thanks Sam. See more See less
I’ve dealt with many contractors over the years, and my experience with Sam has been one of the best. We had a French drain that was backing up into a small courtyard on our property, causing a muddy mess every time it rained heavily. Sam unclogged the drain, but also advised me that the problem was that the drain was not installed properly originally. He proposed a new installation, which he quoted reasonably. The work was delayed by weather, but when finished exceeded my expectations. Sam is a true professional, very knowledgeable, reliable, and truly trustworthy. I won’t hesitate to contract with him again. See more See less

Sam and his crew were great to work with. He is very communicative and thorough. We had initially planned on him fixing some issues with another company's installed French drain, but once work started, it was very apparent he would need to redesign a section to get it to drain properly.eve with multiple projects stacked up, he still took the time to do it the right way. With the last several heavy rains that we've had, I have noticed no more water overflowing my gutters or drain lines getting overwhelmed. Would recommend them to anyone See more See less

I needed some pipe to do an underground drainage system from my downspouts. I found Sam while looking at another web site that recommended him. Sam was responsive to my call and had the 4 inch pipe I needed. Not only did he have it he delivered to the house which made things really easy. The 4 inch pipe is not the black thin stuff but a heavy blue colored corrugated piping called ARMOR solid pipe. He also has the slotted pipe. Both in 100ft rolls. Great small personal company. Thanks Sam. See more See less
I called Sam to fix my drainage problem which was not resolved from a previous company. The previous reviews helped me on selecting Sam. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work done. The system he installed is neat and effective. It’s a beauty to go outside in the rain and watch it work. The water is removed immediately from the land and out where it’s designed to go . Sam takes pride in his work with great communication. What I admired the most is the Sam taking other situations in consideration that I was not thinking about, like tying the drainage water from the pool deck into the system. My deck and yard are restored to normal quickly after the rain . Look no further if you need this type of work done. See more See less
I cant say enough good things about Sam's. Had drainage issues in our backyard where a low spot was causing water to flood into an external garage.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer Review for Sam’s French Drains and Landscape We originally hired a primary installer to resolve our drainage issues, but they never fixed the problem—and eventually stopped responding entirely. A second contractor claimed they could correct everything, but reused the same inadequate materials and clearly didn’t understand how to optimize a yard drain, downspout drain, or French drain system. They also failed to address surface water from rain and sprinklers. As a result, our yard continued to erode, water pooled after every rain or sprinkler cycle, and there was no proper outlet for runoff. The drains lacked consistent slope, and the catch basin they installed could not be adjusted—forcing every pipe to be raised to match it, which only made drainage worse. Finding Sam of Sam’s French Drains and Landscape: After years of frustration, we finally found Sam—and the experience was completely different from the start. Previous installers used flimsy big-box materials, ignored slope and grading, and left us with pipes literally popping out of the ground. Sam approached the problem with true expertise and care. He came out during a major storm so he could observe our drainage issues in real time. While other contractors rushed to “finish in a day,” Sam focused on diagnosing the real problem. He explained that we did not need a French drain at all—despite both previous contractors insisting on one. Instead, we needed: - A proper roof runoff drain from the downspouts - Yard catch basins installed at correct elevations - A fully adjustable system maintaining correct slope to both the street (front) and lake (rear) - Correct grading of the yard—something none of the prior installers addressed Sam also shared that when he installs systems himself, they typically take a full week—not a rushed single day—to ensure everything is done correctly. DIY With Sam’s Expert Guidance: We decided to do the work ourselves, and Sam became a true partner throughout the process. He provided: - A detailed materials list - Product recommendations using French Drain Man (FDM) components - Instructional videos - Hands-on training at our home Once our FDM products arrived, Sam spent over two hours walking us through: - How to assemble every component - How to measure and maintain proper slope - How to grade the yard correctly before installing anything - How to avoid all the mistakes our previous contractors made - Real examples of what proper drainage should look like Throughout the project, he remained available by phone, reviewed every set of progress photos we sent, and even returned multiple times to check our work in person and help troubleshoot. When we followed his instructions exactly, the system came together perfectly—and when we deviated, he helped us understand how to correct it. We worked side by side on weekends, checking slope every couple of feet with a small bubble level—something neither previous installer ever bothered to do. The Result: It has now been six months since we completed the installation, and our drainage system has performed flawlessly through both Florida thunderstorms and daily sprinkler cycles. The water flows exactly as it should, our pipes remain solidly buried, and our yard no longer floods or erodes. The difference compared to the first two contractors is truly night and day. Final Recommendation: We highly recommend: - French Drain Man products — engineered, durable, and vastly superior to big-box store parts. - Sam’s French Drains and Landscape — Sam’s knowledge, professionalism, experience, and genuine care transformed our project into a long-term success. Without Sam’s guidance, we would still be fighting major drainage issues on both sides of our home. Thanks to him, our yard drainage is no longer a nightmare—it finally functions exactly as it should. See more See less

Sam is very passionate and knowledgeable about drainage systems. He installed a fantastic system on the left side of my house and gave me some pointers on the other side. Reasonable priced and very communicative See more See less
After spending over an hour evaluating my system, Sam indicated I had a high quality sewage pump, not usually installed in home systems, but it was not installed deep enough to allow the water to drain. He quoted a price which included lowering the pump correctly so it would drain into the drainage pipes he would install so water would drain into the street. He had city workmen come to indicate underground pipes, made the trench to install, and then replaced the sod strips he removed. All work done efficiently. I have not had any water seepage since Sam evaluated and repaired my system. Not only do I appreciate the quality work and supplies, but I value Sam's honesty. In Sam I found a person who only repaired and united the already installed parts of my drsinage system so they would work together properly. See more See less

Sams French drains came out to our house to take a look at a major drainage issue we have been having each wet season for the last 3 years. He quickly devised a solution and put together a very reasonable quote. I had multiple landscapers come out and Sams solution was by far the best, the materials he proposed were far superior, and the quoted price was lower than any of the others. I am very pleased with the final result and the professionalism exhibited during the process was appreciated. See more See less
I traveled from north Florida to Orlando to get materials from Sam and followed all his directions and tips, including his YouTube videos. We replaced a system a different contractor (not Sam) installed previously that wasn't up to par and I got tired of it failing and backing up. We installed the buried downspouts ourselves following Sam's directions and it works flawlessly. The 3.5" FDM pipe is perfection and the pop-up emits all our roof runoff with no hassle. The pipe stays clean, and our side yard stays NOT FLOODED! The FDM products and system are the real deal and Sam will shoot you straight on how to get it done right! If you're in central Florida you're not going to get a better install than Sam's French Drains and if you're outside his install radius your best to go to him for materials and tips - more than worth your time!

Sam has done an amazing job in my house. His passion has no price. He is super perfectionist and very detail orientated.The pump and the landscape works perfect and looks very nice! Definitely 5 out 5 and happy to be a reference if Sam’s need to! Thank you Sam! See more See less
Sam did such an amazing job installing two French drains for me. His attention to the fine details is what really amazed me treating this project like it was his own home. He even went above and beyond and ensured everything was re-mulched and cleaned up so my yard is now in better condition then before the work began. Before you go with anyone else, just go with Sam. The job will be done right the first time and then some! See more See less

I needed the best drainage pipe in the business (4" new and old formula) from the French Drain Man and Sam moved heaven and earth to re-fill my personal DIY supply down here in Florida! No matter how busy Sam was (and he is VERY busy with many, many satisfied customers), he always got back to me!! Just remember folks, reach out to Sam and have patience - trust me - you need him more than he will be needing you!!! See more See less
I had a problem with my drain pipes getting crushed by lawn mowers and tractors. At Sams French Drains you can get the high octane corrogated pipe that will not crush and will last. You can do it yourself or have them do it. Check out the pictures on their website. They do excellent work. Highly recommend! See more See less
Sam has been great help with teaching me about french drains and installing them.

I dealt with 2 company's locally before i called Sam's and both sold big box store materials. I do not trust those materials for longevity and found Sam's carries what I needed for my drain to be worry free. Upon meeting, he went over my system and provided me with very helpful information and took the time to answer any questions I had. No pressure, All info. Best customer service I have experienced to date. Thank you. See more See less

I had 3 other companies come out to assess my situation. I received estimates ranging from $3000-$11,000. Sam got my system up and running better than ever for $350!!! He us friendly, knowledgeable, and above all, honest! He will be my go to guy for all my drainage needs in the future!! Thanks Sam!!! See more See less
My back patio area has standing water after it rains. I called Sam's French Drains to perform hydro-jetting of the drainage system. Sam took the time to explain the problem and told me the process of clearing the clogged drainage system. He was very thorough and determined to get the job done right. A week later I asked him to put in a clog free pop-up and extend the drainage beyond my sidewalk out to the street. Sam had to dig under the driveway. Now I have drainage out to the road and no standing water in the patio area or the sidewalk outside my house. I highly recommend Sam to take care of any drainage issues you may have.

I live in Lake Nona and my yard was a swamp. I had previously hired 2 other contractors who both did inferior work. Then I called Sam's because of neighbors recommending them. They did amazing work for my neighbors and me. Sam's installed high quality French Drains and we get nothing but compliments. Sam is a French Drain Nerd he loves them and I would not use anyone else.

Working with Sam was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. When you hire Sam, you’ll work directly with him rather than have your job subcontracted out. Very happy with the work that was done and I plan to be a repeat customer when further landscaping projects come up. See more See less
Sam's French Drains and Landscape are extremely knowledgeable and professional! Sam is genuinely passionate about what he does and has a wonderful attention to detail. Sam accomplished what others couldn't and he was able to determine repairs needed to a non working system, and took on a very large project. We are delighted with the work and results. It has been a delightful experience to work with them! Will be referring to all in our network! 😉👍Highly recommend! See more See less
It was a great day for my wife and me when we met Sam. Sam was highly recommended by a friend who benefitted immensely from his work.

We highly recommend Sam's French Drains and Landscape for all your needs. See more See less
I cannot say enough good things about Sam, his company, and the job he did with the drainage around my house. He worked very diligently to install the system in some very difficult and rocky places. He always did what he said he was going to do and showed up when he said he would. He still stops in from time to time to make sure everything is working properly. The system works perfectly so far and I am very pleased. I also know he's as close as the phone should anything go awry. These are all qualities that are rare to find in any profession. I highly recommend Sam to anyone having drainage issues in their yard. He absolutely knows what he's doing and he truly cares about doing a good job. See more See less
I have to say this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a company. I needed a few parts for my DIY French drain project, so I reached out to Sam’s French Drain. To my surprise, Sam himself took the time to come out and look at my project. Not only did he help me get the parts I was missing, but he also shared his knowledge, offered valuable advice, and gave me recommendations that will help ensure my project is successful. It’s rare to find a business owner who is willing to take time out of a busy schedule to personally help a customer. I’m incredibly grateful for Sam’s professionalism, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond. If you’re looking for quality products, honest advice, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Sam’s French Drain. Thank you again, Sam, for all of your help! See more See less

Sam and his team are the people you call when you need anything done in your yard but especially drainage issues. We Had drainage issues in our backyard where a low spot was causing water to flood into an external garage. Sam came out and gave me multiple solutions and quick estimates. Working with his team went smoothly. They ended up installing a sump pump in a pit and routing all the water underground to the street. Excellent work and professionalism. Would highly recommend to anyone. See more See less
As a DIY’er, with only a 25’ run of a French drain to build, I’m tackling the project of building an open French drain myself. Sam was amazing and helped guide me thru the entire process. He provided me with all the material (French Drain Man pipe and fabric) to do it. He took the time to walk me thru it to insure the project would be done correctly and last a few lifetimes. He truly has a passion for his work and an eye for detail and doing things right the first time. Thanks to Sam and him sharing his knowledge, Im going into this with 100% confidence that it will be built right and push more water than a hurricane can throw at it. See more See less

Thank you Sam for installing a sump pump for us and giving us the peace of mind that we will not have to deal with anymore flooding in our home during a downpour or anxiously worry every time it rains. The timing couldn’t be more perfect with all the rain we’ve had this week. For those of you looking for a pro that cares about his clients, executes quality work and takes the extra time to educate and follow up with his clients, I highly recommend Sam! As for the reviews about Sam not responding fast enough, my experience with Sam has been that when he is on your project, he is 100% focused and committed to your project. So for those impatient and petty reviews, it’s truly your loss. So what if you have to wait an extra day for a call back as long as when Sam’s eventually working on your project, you’ll know you’re getting quality work done right, the first time.

I am so glad we went with Sam for our yard drainage issues. He explains everything, uses top notch materials, and stays as long as it takes to get the job done right. He really knows his craft and is meticulous about his work. He even makes rounds to your property after it rains to make sure everything is flowing properly. No shortcuts. That is old school work ethic and it is hard to find nowadays. We thought he would be more expensive b/c of all of the above and the materials he uses, but he is not. We got 2 other quotes from bigger companies and they were actually more expensive. There is a waiting list due to it being a smaller business and personalized service, but it is so worth the wait.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one is well-deserved. I hired Sam to install a French drain at my home, and it’s hands-down the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor. Sam runs a self-operated business, and it shows in the pride he takes in his work. His attention to detail was meticulous, and he treated my home like it was his own. He used high-quality parts and paired them with expert craftsmanship, making sure every part of the job was done right…not only to my satisfaction but to his as well. Sam’s communication throughout the process was incredible. I always knew what was happening and why. No surprises, no shortcuts – just solid, honest work. His family is involved too, which I really appreciated. Sam’s wife handles the back office and marketing, and his sons and nephew help him on-site. It’s rare to see that kind of integrity and work ethic passed through a whole family, but it’s happening here. If you're unsure whether to hire him, take this as your green light. I’d hire Sam again in a heartbeat and recommend him without hesitation. See more See less
We used Sam’s French Drain to help improve water drainage in our backyard. We called around and got several quotes, but Sam listened to our concerns and was the most thorough in explaining the job and providing a detailed quote. He uses the highest quality materials and ensures the customer knows what work he is doing and explains how the system works. He clearly communicated and was detail oriented in every aspect of the job. We’ve done a lot of home improvements and this by far is the happiest we’ve been with the quality of materials, craftsmanship and level of communication. We’d highly recommend Sam to anyone considering getting any drainage issue resolved. See more See less
Make no mistake if you have yard drainage issues call Sam. I've had two previous French Drains and it was a waste of time and money, low grade materials were used and they both failed over time. Sam is thorough, earnest hardworking and knows his business. The materials used were commercial grade. He was on schedule and kept us informed step by step. Sam's French Drains and landscaping is worth the investment you have my five star rating. We were extremely pleased and his business comes highly recommended. Thank you Sam. See more See less

My backyard has a negative grade and sits at a lower level than the neighbors. This caused constant water accumulation near the foundation and wet backyard. Sam did a detailed study of the problem, provided expert guidance and installed the perfect french drain system i have ever seen. He is very knowledgable in his field of expertise. He uses top grade material and is very thorough with his job. Sam installed 100s of feet of double pipe french drain, sump pump and also connected the downspouts with a different kind of adapter for easy cleanout. I am glad i had Sam work on my water problem and am 100% sure I will not face any problems with water accumulation at my home. I would highly recommend Sam for all your french drainage requirements. The end result is worth every penny you spend with him. See more See less
