Drain tile, also known as a French drain or perimeter drain, is a system designed to redirect groundwater away from your foundation, preventing water from seeping into your basement or crawl space. It consists of perforated pipes buried around the foundation of your building, surrounded by gravel or a drainage medium that allows water to flow into the pipes. The collected water is then directed to a sump pump or a suitable drainage outlet, keeping your foundation dry and reducing the risk of structural damage.

It’s crucial to recognize the signs that indicate your drainage system may need attention. Here are some common indicators that you may need drain tile installation or repair:

• Water in the Basement: Persistent or frequent water accumulation in your basement is a clear sign that your drainage system is not functioning properly.
• Damp or Musty Odors: A damp smell in your basement or crawl space can indicate excess moisture due to poor drainage.
• Foundation Cracks: Cracks in your foundation walls or floors can result from water pressure caused by inadequate drainage.
  Mold and Mildew Growth: The presence of mold or mildew in your basement is a sign of ongoing moisture issues, which can be mitigated with a proper drain tile system.
• Soggy Lawn or Landscaping: If your yard remains soggy or waterlogged long after a rainstorm, your current drainage system might be inadequate.
