Seepage Tile

What are Seepage Tile Plumbing Services?

Seepage tile, also known as drain tile or French drain, is a plumbing system that is designed to manage excess water in and around your home. Seepage tile plumbing services involve installing, repairing, or replacing seepage tile systems to help prevent water damage to your home.

A seepage tile system typically involves a series of perforated pipes that are installed around the perimeter of your home or in areas where water tends to accumulate, such as in basements or crawl spaces. The pipes are placed in a bed of gravel or other porous material, which allows water to flow into the pipes and be carried away from your home.

What are the different types of Seepage Tile Systems?

There are several different types of seepage tile systems that can be installed to manage excess water in and around your home. Here are a few examples:

The installation process for exterior seepage tile involves digging a trench around the perimeter of your home, typically to a depth of several feet. The perforated pipes are then placed in a bed of gravel or other porous material in the trench. The trench is backfilled with additional gravel or other porous material, which allows water to flow into the pipes and be carried away from your home.

Exterior seepage tile systems are typically designed to be passive, meaning that they do not require any additional power or equipment to function properly. Instead, the system relies on gravity and the natural flow of water to move water away from your home.

The benefits of exterior seepage tile include:

• Preventing water damage: Exterior seepage tile systems are highly effective at preventing water damage to your home by diverting excess water away from your foundation.
• Long-lasting: Exterior seepage tile systems are typically designed to last for many years with proper installation and maintenance.

The channel is then filled with gravel or other porous material, and perforated pipes are installed in the channel. The pipes are then covered with additional gravel or other porous material, which allows water to flow into the pipes and be carried away from your home.

Interior seepage tile systems are typically connected to a sump pump, which pumps the water out of your home and away from your foundation. This system is designed to be active, meaning that it requires power to function properly.
