Is this your problem?

Weeping tile is the drainage pipe that runs around the bottom of your foundation and carries groundwater away. When it clogs with silt or roots, or collapses with age, water builds up against the wall and finds its way into the basement.

  • Water along the base of several walls
  • An older home with its original weeping tile
  • Leaks after heavy rain even with gutters working
  • A camera inspection shows roots, silt or a collapse
How the job is done4 steps

  1. Excavate to the footing

    The soil is dug out along the foundation to reach the old drainage pipe.

  2. Remove the old tile

    The clogged or broken pipe is taken out and the footing is cleaned.

  3. Lay new pipe in gravel

    New perforated pipe goes down in clear gravel so water can flow in freely.

  4. Protect and backfill

    The wall is usually sealed and wrapped in membrane before the trench is filled.

QuestionsWeeping tile replacement
What is weeping tile?

A perforated drainage pipe around the outside of the footing. Water seeps into it and is carried to a sump pit or the storm drain instead of building up against the wall.

How do I know mine is clogged?

A drain contractor can run a camera through it to check for roots, silt or collapse.

Is it done with exterior waterproofing?

Usually, yes. The trench is already open, so the wall is sealed and wrapped at the same time.

Where does the water go?

To a sump pit and pump, or to an approved storm connection, depending on the house.
