Weeping Tiles

What are Weeping Tiles and How Do They Work?

Weeping tiles consist of plastic or PVC material and have small perforated holes along them. They are a type of drainage system that prevents water damage and flooding by allowing water to seep into the holes and be carried away through pipes that lead to a storm drain or other type of drainage system and away from your home. This prevents water from seeping into your foundation and causing cracks, leaks, structural damage, mold, etc. It’s important to have them installed by a professional team, like TTA Service Inc.! We specialize in installing weeping tiles and ensuring your basement stays dry, even during Toronto’s unexpected and unpredictable weather.

Assessment & Design Planning

Weeping Tile Maintenance Tips

Ensuring your weeping tile system is well-maintained is essential in its efficiency and lifespan. While issues should be dealt with by a professional, one thing homeowners can do is ensure that excess water is being redirected away from their home’s foundation, and ensure all debris is removed from gutters and downspouts. If you see pools of water around the exterior of your home, or water is slow to drain from toilets or sinks, your system may be clogged and should be dealt with immediately. You can also have a drain inspection done every couple of years, however, weeping tiles can last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment.
