The Problem With Clogged Draintile

Monday, November 24th, 2008

When your home was built, a drainage system was put under ground around the perimeter of your home.  This system is a flexible pipe called draintile.

Over the years - as water washes through the draintile, dirt and debris start to build up on the inside.  Not only that but the dirt that was packed on top of the draintile is heavy and has crushed the piping over time.

What you are left with is a drainage system that has failed you - resulting in a flooded basement.

Clogged draintile can be “unclogged” by flushing the pipes out but this will not correct the problem permanently.  Dirt and debris will still be washed through your draintile and will eventually build up again.

There are other options for basement drains that are still beneath your basement floor and do not clog with dirt or debris.  Click here TODAY to find out more!

What Do Cracked Basement Walls Mean?

Friday, October 17th, 2008

See the cracked basement walls in this picture?  Have you run into something similar in YOUR basement?  Do you know what’s actually going on to cause your cracked basement walls?

First of all - the direction of the crack can actually tell you a lot about what is going on with your basement walls.  A horizontal crack may mean there is water pressure pushing in on your walls.  A verticle crack may be something structural or even shotty construction.

Different types of walls - suck as brick, poured concrete, or even stone - can also affect what might have caused your cracked basement wall.  In the end - it’s always best to have a professional evaluate your situation to determine causes and solutions.

If you have cracked basement walls it is very important to have these evaluated and corrected as soon as possible.  DO NOT WAIT.  Don’t risk further leaking or even worse… a basement wall caving in.
