Are French drains and perimeter drains one and the same thing or are they different? If they are different how are they different and which one is better?
Thanks for your help in advance!

They are no longer called "French Drains"
We now use the term "Freedom Drain"

A French drain is a type of drain. A perimiter drain is the location for a drain of any type, which can include a French Drain. However french drains are not always on the perimiter of a foundation. We have one along our driveway.

I have home on hillside. Have French Drain at bottom of hill next to the foundation of the house. It pumps the hillside rain water to a pond in the pasture. NW Arkansas has had an abundance of rain the past 6 months. When it dries up, it has a funky odor. It's 88 ft long what can I apply to fix the current problem?
