The purpose of a foundation drain (aka weeping tile) is to collect groundwater from around the home’s structure to prevent it from pooling. A perforated pipe runs along the foundation walls of the home to capture water and drain it in the direction of the storm sewer, away from the home. Water leaking between the footing and base of the foundation, a swampy lawn, or a full sump pump could be indicators that your drain tile is malfunctioning and needs repair or replacement.

Some proactive things you can do right now is have your drain tiled flushed and inspected with a camera. This low-cost and effective maintenance routine will save you tons of money and give you valuable peace of mind over the years, instead of waiting until an emergency situation arises.

Serving Burnaby and the Lower Mainland, the friendly and helpful team at Marvel Plumbing is just a phone call away: 604-729-3864.
