Common mistakes during French drain installation include failing to establish a consistent downward slope, omitting geotextile filter fabric which leads to soil clogging, using unwashed gravel containing silty dust, wrapping the pipe incorrectly, and discharging water too close to the foundation instead of routing it safely away to daylight, a storm drain, or a dry well.
