WHAT IS AN INTERIOR DRAIN TILE TEST?
Wisconsin drain tile test and waterproofing
For an interior drain tile inspection, a
contractor opens up a few holes in the
basement’s concrete floor to view the drain
tile pipes and run water through them. If the
system is working correctly, the water will flow
to the sump pump and be taken away from
the house. If the pipes are broken or clogged,
the issue will be revealed and the contractor
will assess the needed repairs or cleanout.
WHAT IS AN EXTERIOR DRAIN TILE SPUD TEST?
A drain tile spud test is the exterior
counterpart of the interior inspection. Here,
the contractor drives a spud (pipe) into the
ground outside the house or building and
pumps water down it. This helps the specialist
determine whether or not the water is flowing
into the drainage system correctly or sitting
against the foundation walls and threatening
the basement.
WHAT IS A DRAIN TILE VS A FRENCH DRAIN?
The definitions of French drains and drain tiles
are very similar and often used
interchangeably.
But if we’re being technical, there are a couple
of differences.
French drains are classically installed close to
the surface, outside your home.
They’re made of perforated pipe that’s buried
in a bed of gravel. The gravel trench slopes
away from your house,
collecting water into the pipe and using gravity
to send it away from your foundation.
Drain tiles (also called footing drains) are
typically installed deeper underground, in the
foundation of your home. The design is similar
to a French drain, but more contained,
directing water to your sump pump which
then propels the water away.

Drain tile systems are networks of pipes under
and around the foundation of your house or
commercial building. They’re designed to
collect water and bring it to your sump pump,
to be propelled away from your home or
building. A drain tile test measures how well
this system is working.
If your drain tile system is clogged or not
functioning properly,
it won’t protect your basement and
foundation like it’s supposed to. This can
cause costly water damage.
Reasons to get a drain tile test:
•
You are seeing signs of water damage in
your basement: bowed or cracked walls,
insect invasions, mold or rot & peeling
paint
•
You just bought or are considering buying
a new house
•
You are selling your house
•
A real estate agent or home inspector has
recommended it
