Drain Tile Services We Specialize In

Drain tile is a critical part of your home’s waterproofing and excavation services. It looks like a large 4” pipe with small holes along its surface, allowing groundwater to seep in and once the water enters the drain tile, it flows into the building’s sump pit so the sump pump can remove the water from your home.

This is a crucial role in basement waterproofing and protecting your foundation from long-term water damage. Inspection of the interior perimeter of your basement floor to look for damp spots, staining or other signs of water intrusion is essential when diagnosing drain tile issues.

Excavation for Drain Tile

Exterior drain tile requires excavating a trench along the foundation wall, down to the footing. Interior drain tile requires the concrete floor to be broken up and dirt is removed to access the footing.

Exterior Drain Tile Installation

Drain tile is laid in a gravel bed along the foundation walls. A sump pit is installed and the trench is backfilled. Depending on how your home is laid out, multiple walls of drain tile may be installed.

Interior Drain Tile Installation

Drain tile is installed in a 12” wide trench where the floor meets the wall. Drain tile is then placed in a gravel bed and either tied into an existing sump pit or a newly installed pit with a sump pump placed in it.

Drain Tile Repair

Over time, debris like settlement, roots, and silt can clog or even damage existing drain tile. The build-up of water under and/or around your foundation can eventually force its way into the basement or crawl space.

Drain tile helps move groundwater away from your foundation and can play an important role in keeping your basement dry.

If your system is clogged, damaged, or not draining properly, our waterproofing team can inspect it, explain what’s happening, and recommend the right next step.

Drain Tile FAQs

How do I know if my drain tile may have a problem?

Look for damp spots, staining, or other signs of water intrusion around the perimeter of your basement. Drain tile can also become clogged or damaged by settlement, roots, silt, and other debris. A professional inspection can help determine where the water is coming from and whether the drain tile is part of the problem.

Can a clogged or damaged drain tile system be repaired?

Yes. We provide drain tile repair as well as new installation for both interior and exterior systems. Depending on the condition of the system, the work may involve addressing clogs or replacing damaged sections of drain tile.

What is the difference between interior and exterior drain tile?

Exterior drain tile is installed outside the foundation near the footing and requires excavation along the foundation wall. Interior drain tile is installed beneath the basement floor along the wall-to-floor joint and directs water toward a sump pit. Which approach makes sense depends on the home and where the water problem is occurring.

Can drain tile help with recurring basement water?

It can when water is entering around the basement perimeter or beneath the slab. An interior drain tile system gives water a path to the sump pit before it reaches the finished basement. The right waterproofing solution depends on where the water is coming from, since problems such as foundation cracks, exterior drainage, or sump pump issues may require a different approach.
