Surface Drain Tile Eliminates Excessive Water

Surface tile is necessary, in preventing a leaky basement, when good landscaping cannot be done - such as, the building is too deep into the ground or there is a hill sloped into the building causing basement water leakage.

The drainage system is designed to capture the water that would collect along the building and drain it away, instead of it soaking into the ground causing a leaking basement and expanding soil, which pushes in the basement walls, causing buckling and bowing walls. It is a decorative addition to the home as well as a drainage system, solving the excessive water landscaping problem. An ounce of prevention, preventing the leaky basement and pushed in walls is worth the investment.
