Drain Tile Systems

The recent drier weather makes this an excellent time to deal with your exterior drainage issues. Changing your property's grade and installing improved drainage deliver superior results for years to come.

Installation of drainage tiles (also known as a French Drain) effectively supplements the benefits of proper grading. A 4” perforated drain tile back-filled with limestone chips will absorb seepage (underground water) under the center of a swale or other areas of potential water pooling.

The experienced and efficient workers for Integrity Drainage Solutions will excavate a footer (a trench about 6-8 inches deep), then lay a 4” diameter perforated pipe, after the drainage tile is installed. Next comes back-filling with limestone chips or washed gravel. Finally, they top it all off with displaced earth.

Only Part of the Solution:

Drainage tile systems are only about 6 inches beneath the ground. These pipes can freeze during a typical Wisconsin winter. The system should be augmenting your solution, not be considered the primary solution.
