The Portland, Oregon home groundwater drainage market has various contractors that profess to specialize in home groundwater drainage. Make sure you specify a desire for a drainage contractor that is licensed, bonded and insured.
The fact of the matter is that few of these contractors, if they actually are contractors at all, know the proper reasons and methods behind the installation of hand excavated french drains, or they are simply too lazy to perform hand excavated french drain installation in the most effective manner. Hand excavated french drains take more time to install, but they last longer and perform better.
