A French Drain is Perforated Pipe Surrounded By Gravel. It usually has a catch basin to help collect surface water and the gravel perforated pipe collects the subsurface water, water table or ground water.
When your yard floods and the water stands for days, a French drain is usually needed to remove the water.

As with any drain there must be a discharge point lower than the inlet. In other wards, the water standing in your yard must have a place to go that is Downhill or LOWER than the flooded spot. If that cannot be achieved, a sump pump is needed to left the water up and send it to the street, storm drain or other natural area away from the low spot in the yard.
