Commercial French Drain Fabric

For customers looking for the best french drain fabric available, we have recommended this fabric to thousands of customers on both residential and commercial installations. This fabric is for the customer who wants the best, not the cheapest.

Tip: Look for Detailed Specs

Large online shopping websites are flooded with fabrics claiming to be the "highest quality". Always look for detailed specs with testing results. If you don't see a spec sheet download don't believe the claim.

Installation

Installation of our drainage fabrics can vary slightly based on jobsite specifics and the exact application. The following are general steps are for a standard straight-forward installation.

Step 1:

Remove all debris, rocks and unwanted plantings from the installation area. Dig the drainage channel to the required depth.

Step 2:

Place the fabric roll in the installation area and unroll. Once the fabric is unrolled, cut the fabric to fit. At seams, it is best to overlap the fabric by 12". This will help to prevent rocks from migrating out of the area covered by fabric.

Step 3:

Fill the area with drain rock and and cover with fabric or leave exposed. (this can vary based on the exact type of drainage system you are installing.)

Why Spend More with Fabric Pros?

You’ve probably seen “high-quality french drain fabric” on various big box retailers websites. Usually priced really cheap. Why spend more with us? Think of the project as a whole. What is the most expensive aspect of your project? Typically it’s the labor, followed by hardscape material, plantings and ground cover. On many projects the fabric cost is less than 1% of the total cost of the project. What is one of the first materials that is installed? Typically any sub grade than the fabric. If you put down the wrong fabric and there is an issue, in many situations the entire project has to be redone costing the owner thousands of dollars and a re-installation of everything above the fabric. Case in Point: buy fabric that has been time tested, widely used by professionals and is ASTM tested. You’ll pay more but at least you’ll know what you are getting. Fabric that is directly imported from overseas and posted to a “large online retailer” with countless “5 star reviews” should be approached with a great deal of caution.

Clear Direction on the Right Fabric to Use

From thousands of customers over 20 years we know what the most appropriate fabric is for the given application and we make it simple. We don’t throw 50 options at you to decipher. We present the most commonly used fabric by the professionals for the application.

Tested, Commercial-Grade Fabrics

Testing data helps you as the customer know what you are buying. More often than not, stores selling economy-grade fabric do not provide specification information with ASTM testing data. This is intentional.

We Ship Fast

When you place your order with us we make every effort to process your order right away. If your order is placed in the morning there is a strong chance that we can get it picked up same day by the shipping company. 

We Pick Up Our Phone

Have you ever ordered a product online and for some reason needed to call the company? After spending 20 minutes searching for the phone number you finally call and get an annoying menu and eventually a person who doesn't seem to really care?

Not with Fabric Pros. We hate menus so we don't have one. When you call you get a person who is willing and actually able to help every time.

What Else Makes our French Drain Fabric Different?

Our French Drain Fabric is
100% Polypropylene

Our french drain fabric is composed of 100% polypropylene. No fillers and no economy-grade substitutions. Polypropylene is the ideal material for a french drain application as it is both strong and very permeable. When economy materials are used in conjunction with polypropylene, strength and permeability ultimately suffers, leading to possible fabric failure and ultimately drainage issues. For permanent, long-term french drain installations look for fabrics that are explicitly labeled as “100% polypropylene”.

Our French Drain Fabric is Needle Punched
in a Random Pattern

High quality drainage geotextile fabrics rely on the process of needle punching fibers in a random pattern to produce the high strength and highly permeable material which is ideal for this particular application. The random nature of the tiny polypropylene strands provide heightened strength and more efficient permeability when compared to non-randomized non-woven fabrics.

How Long Will Shipping Take?

Our fabrics ship from four different distribution warehouses located in the west coast, south, midwest and north east areas of the United States. Most of our fabrics are stocked at all four locations and will ship from the location nearest to you to minimize transit time.

Our "Approximate" Transit Map

If everyone has learned one thing in the last few years it's that delivery dates aren't exact.

Most orders require 1 business day to ship. The shipping map to the right is "approximate" and does not take into account order processing time. (typically one business day or less) Sometimes a fabric will be out of stock at the specific warehouse closest to you and will have to ship from a further warehouse. This can impact the transit time. It is always a good idea to order your fabric a full week before you actually plan in installing. It will most likely show up days sooner but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
