Drain tile testing can help you determine the source of moisture in your basement and can provide you with the information you need to resolve these issues quickly. Working with an established Milwaukee waterproofing company can provide you with the right options for restoring your foundation and preventing leaks from damaging your basement area. Here are some key facts about drain tile testing and how it can help you protect your foundation and enjoy a drier basement now and in the future:
Understanding Your Drain Tile System
Your basement’s drain tile system allows water to flow away from your home and your foundation. This can prevent damage caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and seepage. Your drain tile system usually includes pipes with small perforations that lie atop a gravel bed. Channels and bleeders direct water from inside your foundation to the outside. If moisture is a consistent problem, a sump pump can be connected to your drain tile system to remove water from under your foundation on a continuing basis. Be sure to visit our Drain Tile Gallery to see pictures of this process.
Drain Tile Testing Procedures
During the drain tile testing process, your Milwaukee waterproofing company will usually open a few holes to check the condition of your pipes, gravel bed and other components of your drain tile system. If blockages are discovered, these technicians will take steps to remediate the problem and to allow water to flow as intended through the drain tile system. Water flow testing may also be performed to determine if the exterior or interior drain tiles are in good working order.
Resolving Problems Quickly
Working with a professional company can allow you to resolve any problems quickly and in the most cost-effective way possible. If problems exist in the drain tile system, it may be necessary to remove the old tiles and repair the system from bottom to top. This can sometimes eliminate issues with wet basements altogether. If leaks and problems persist, however, you may need a more comprehensive solution to your foundation problems.
