Drain Tile
What is a drain tile?
Drain tile systems have been around for thousands of years. They first made their appearance in agriculture. Farmers would drain excess groundwater from their crops to prevent flooding and produce higher yields. Eventually, this system was applied to homes to allow a higher standard of living and better quality buildings. The drain tile system is one of the most important, but most neglected systems within the home. Without it, basement walls will crack and collapse, floors will buckle, and ground water will pour into your home. It is the biggest protection system for the home, as it ensures the integrity of your foundation.
There are two types of drain tile system that can be installed in the home, exterior and interior. The two have equal advantages and disadvantages; the choice depends on your needs. We will help you establish which system works best for you and your home.
Maintaining Your Drain Tile System
Exterior System
- You may still use your basement during its installation. In an interior installation, all the work is done inside your basement.
- It prevents water from entering through the walls of your basement.
- Waterproofing your basement in any way after installing this system is unnecessary. With an interior system, you would still need a waterproof layer outside your basement walls.
Interior System
- You will not have to tear up any garden or shrubs that may be outside your home.
- This system can be installed in winter, while the exterior system cannot be installed while the ground is frozen.
- It is easier to access the pipe with this system, as it is installed just below the basement.
- Interior systems can be less expensive to install.
