Efficient use of a drain tile system is an excellent approach to supplement the benefits of proper grading. A 4" drain tile backfilled with Limestone chips will absorb seepage under the center of a swale or other appropriate areas. Considering these pipes may freeze in typical Wisconsin winter, they should be used as a secondary drainage solution.
By using precision tools, we ensure 100% accuracy during the design and implementation of an efficient drainage system. Integrity Drainage Solutions are drainage experts who get it right the first time!

Fix a Negative Pitch
Mold and structural foundation damage are problems that may occur in
homes with improper drainage. A negative pitch of the grade provides a
direct path for water toward a home while adding harmful hydrostatic
pressure and voiding home foundation warranties. During the winter
months, water near a foundation wall can freeze and expand, therefore,
providing additional damaging pressure.
