frequently asked questions
What is a drain tile system, and how does it work?
A drain tile system is a perforated pipe installed underground to redirect water away from your home’s foundation. It prevents basement flooding, foundation damage, and excess moisture buildup by collecting water and guiding it toward a drainage point or sump pump.
Do I need a drain tile system for my home?
You may need a drain tile system if you experience:
✔ Frequent basement leaks or flooding
✔ Pooling water around your foundation
✔ Damp or musty-smelling crawl spaces
✔ Cracks in walls or foundation due to water damage
Installing a proper drainage system helps prevent costly structural issues and keeps your home dry.
How do I know if my drain tile system is failing?
Signs of a failing drain tile system include:
✔ Standing water in the basement or crawl space
✔ Damp walls or floors near the foundation
✔ Mold growth and musty odors
✔ Sump pump running continuously but not removing water efficiently
If you notice these issues, it may be time to repair or replace your drain tile system.
What causes a clogged drain, and how can I prevent it?
Common causes of clogged drains include:
✔ Hair, soap scum, and grease buildup in sinks and showers.
✔ Flushing non-flushable items like wipes, feminine products, or excessive toilet paper.
✔ Tree root intrusion in underground sewer pipes.
✔ Collapsed or broken pipes due to aging infrastructure.
💡 Prevention Tips:
✔ Use drain strainers to catch debris.
✔ Avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down the drain.
✔ Regularly flush drains with hot water & vinegar to break down buildup.
✔ Schedule routine drain inspections to prevent major clogs.
How can I unclog a drain at home?
✔ Try a plunger – Works best for sinks, tubs, and toilets.
✔ Use a baking soda & vinegar mixture – Pour down the drain and let sit before flushing with hot water.
✔ Snake the drain – A drain auger can remove stubborn blockages.
✔ Avoid chemical drain cleaners – They can damage pipes over time.
If the clog persists, it’s best to call a professional plumber for assistance.
