🧱 Do I Need Drain Tile to Protect My Foundation?
If you’ve noticed soggy spots in your yard, water in your basement, or cracks in your concrete, you might be dealing with a drainage problem—and drain tile could be the solution.
Drain tile systems are one of the most effective ways to manage water around your home. In Rockford and the surrounding area, poor drainage can lead to serious problems like foundation cracks, sinking patios, and moldy basements.
Despite the name, drain tile isn’t a tile at all—it’s a perforated pipe installed underground to collect and redirect water away from your home. It’s often buried along foundations or under concrete surfaces like patios and sidewalks to keep moisture where it belongs.
Here are some signs you may need drain tile:
- Water pooling around your foundation
- Cracking or sinking concrete
- Wet or musty basement smells
- Mold growth or efflorescence
- Yard or mulch erosion near downspouts or hardscapes
