Weeping Tile Installation

Weeping tile installation, also known as French drain installation, involves placing a perforated pipe in a trench filled with gravel to direct water away from a foundation, retaining wall, or low-lying area. This technique is crucial for managing groundwater and preventing water from pooling near structures, which can lead to basement flooding, foundation damage, or erosion. The process includes digging a trench around the perimeter of the area to be protected, laying the weeping tile (perforated pipe), covering it with gravel, and then backfilling the trench with soil. Proper weeping tile installation ensures effective drainage, protecting structures from water damage and maintaining the stability of the landscape.
