Plumber Drain Tile Repair Langley & Maple Ridge, BC.  778 868 9580. The purpose of drain tile around your house is to collect water around your basement foundation and channel it to one of two places.  If you live in an area without a slope, the water flows to a sump pit in your basement where it is then pumped out away from the foundation.  Drain Tile Is basically a pipe with holes or perforations and stone surrounding it.  The idea is for the holes or perforations to let water in so that it can then run toward the sump crock to be pumped out.  The stone protects the pipe form being crushed by the weight of dirt above it {and from rocks being dropped on it during back fill}.  The stone also helps with the movement of water around the pipe.  Preventing clogged drain tile – There are two major types of drain tile pipe used: Corrugated flexible plastic pipe with perforations.  The perforations are basically small slits that let water into the pipe but deter large soil particles from entering.  The corrugated pipe can be purchased with a fabric covering that prevents small soil particles from getting into the pipe. This fabric, or sock as it sometimes is called, costs a little more but will help keep the pipe from clogging.  Most building codes required a kraft paper or some other form of material to be placed on top of the stone that surrounds the pipe to keep soil particicles from  getting down inside. Another type of drain pipe used in drain tile is PVC pipe with holes on one side.  With this pipe, the holes are placed down, and water makes its way into the pipe from underneath.  The pipe then delivers the water around the perimeter of the foundation to the sump crock.
