If you are looking to waterproof your home, you may be considering methods to do so. One popular waterproofing method is to install weeping tiles. In this blog post, we will take a look at what weeping tiles are and how they can be used to waterproof your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is weeping tile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weeping tiles go by many names, and that includes drain tiles, perimeter drains, and French drains. Weeping tiles are perforated pipes that are installed around the perimeter of your home. They are buried underground and collect water that seeps into the ground around your foundation. The water is then diverted away from your foundation, preventing it from causing any damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of weeping tile: interior and exterior. Interior weeping tile is installed on the inside of the foundation, and exterior weeping tile is installed on the outside of the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weeping tile is made from a variety of materials, including concrete, plastic, clay, metal, and stone. It is important to choose a material that is durable and will not corrode or break down over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does weeping tile work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weeping tile is installed around the perimeter of the foundation. The tile is connected to a drainage system<\/a> that carries the water away from the building. The tile collects water that seeps through the foundation and drains it away from the building. This helps to keep the foundation dry and free of water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is weeping tile installed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Installing a weeping tile system is a big job, and it is best to hire a professional contractor to do the work. The first step is to excavate around the perimeter of the foundation. This will allow the contractor to access the footing and install the tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the excavation is complete, the contractor will install a layer of gravel around the footing. The gravel helps to drain water away from the foundation. The weeping tile is then installed on top of the gravel. The tile is connected to a sump pump, which pumps water out of the system and away from the foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost to install weeping tile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of installing weeping tile varies depending on the type of material used and the size of the foundation. Generally, the cost ranges from $1000 to $10,000, according to HomeAdvisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
