A French drain starts with digging a trench. The depth and width of the trench can vary, but 5 to 6 inches wide and 8 to 12 inches deep are common sizes and usually satisfy most needs.
1 A French drain 30'-50' long might cost $300-$1,500, with prices averaging about $750-$1,250.2  For example, Galtech.com reports having two French drains installed at an Oregon home for $1,475 for 58' total, about $25-$26 a foot. Interior French drains are often a last resort when other basement waterproofing methods don't work. 2  They typically cost $2,000-$6,000 but can be $10,000-$15,000 or more with a sump pump and basin.
