Clogged Basement Drain Tile Solution

The health of your basement has a great impact on your home. A dry and healthy basement ensures a safe home. However, if your basement faces moisture issues then it's a matter of concern. Clogged drain tiles sometimes lead to these moisture issues.

Signs of Clogged Drain Tile

If you don't treat clogged drains in time, this will eventually lead to mold growth and structural damage. To ensure a healthy home, you should treat clogged drains in time.

A few signs will help you identify a clogged drain tile, such as:

  • Flooded Basement
  • Standing Water
  • Musty Odors
  • Foundation Cracking

Causes of Clogged Drainage System

It is important to know that these signs can be caused by other issues as well, so it's better to call a professional for an inspection to find out the actual reason.

Lack of proper maintenance and professional services leads to clogged drains. However, some other issues contribute to the problem, like:

  • Debris accumulation
  • Sediment buildup
  • Tree root blockage
  • Grease or oil blockage
  • Pipe damage or corrosion
  • Frozen pipes
  • Improper installation or design
  • High water level

Common Types of Drainage System

Installing a drainage system is an effective way of waterproofing the basement. At DryWorx, with our experience and skills, we understand that some drainage systems work better than others.

Some of the effective drainage systems we offer:

  • Interior Basement Drainage: This system is installed to collect water from leaks, seepage, or any groundwater. The water is collected through a sump pump and pumped out of the drain.
  • Exterior Drainage: It drains water from the foundation area and keeps it dry. It also prevents basement leakages.
  • French Drainage: It's an entire drainage system that is installed to collect underground water. It prevents water from storing around the foundation.
  • Entryway Drainage: Prevents any water gathering around doorways, patios, or garages.

Tips to Avoid Basement Drainage Clogging

While installing a drainage system, there are a few things you should keep in mind. If you follow these steps, it will be easier for you to have a fully functioning drainage system. That includes:

  • Place the drain on top of the foundation footing, not in the mud zone.
  • Install a sump pump system to ensure a dry foundation or basement.
  • Install your discharge line opening with a grated outlet. This will prevent leaves, mud, or debris from clogging the system.
  • Installing a grated opening at the base of the discharge line will also give protection against freezing drainage.
