How Do Drain Tiles Work?
Drain tile systems work with a variety of components installed in the flooring of your foundation. The drain tile is a simple four inch wide pipe with holes drilled into it to funnel water through its length. The pipes are set into gravel in your foundation.
Gravel is important because it is more porous than soil. It allows water to more freely flow than soil or sediment can, thereby drawing the water through. When water has a choice between thick, hard soil and porous, loose gravel, it will travel the path of least resistance. The system is then covered to keep the pipe from getting clogged by debris or sediment in the area.
The water outlet is placed as far from your home as possible, preferably at a downgrade so it can run off into a sewer grate or down the hill away from your home. The outlet should also come out into the air so that the water will be pulled away from its entry point. Sump pumps can be used to supplement this system if you live on flat ground or if your home is at the bottom of a hill or you simply do not want to pour water into your neighbor's yard.
Installing Your Drain Tile System
Installation of a drain tile system is a complex process. The location of the drain tiles must be carefully measured to capture as much water as possible before it can enter your foundation. The drainage system must also be efficient at removing the water from your drain tiles and ensuring it is displaced somewhere both safe.
Most modern homes have a drain tile system installed when the home is built, but existing homes may not. It is important that the installation process is done by a trained professional who has worked in this field for many years.
