Custom Drain Tile Installations for Water Control
Drain tile installations are essential for managing excess water around foundations and preventing water intrusion into basements and crawl spaces. Properly installed drain tiles help direct groundwater away from structures, reducing the risk of water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. These systems are crucial in areas with high water tables or heavy rainfall, ensuring long-term stability and dry interiors.
Installation involves placing perforated pipes in gravel trenches around foundations to facilitate water flow away from structures.

The process of installing drain tiles typically takes between one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. It begins with excavation around the foundation, followed by laying perforated pipes in gravel-filled trenches. The system is then covered with fabric and additional gravel to prevent clogging and ensure proper water flow. The trenches are backfilled, and the site is restored to its original condition. Proper installation requires precision to ensure the system functions as intended and lasts for decades.
