Under Foundation Drainage  Perforated tubing can be installed in new or retrofit constuction to prevent wet basements. Install inside the basement floor approximately one foot from the inside wall or in a cross pattern. The line should have a minimum grade and lead into a sump at one corner of the basement or to an outside drain. Tubing should be installed in a gravel envelope bed.

Washer and Sump Drain Liner  Use non-perforated tubing to route water from sump pit to a proper run-off or collection area.

Downspout Run-Offs  carry rainwater away from the building and avoid water seeping down basement walls and creating wet basement problems. Use non-perforated tubing from the downspout to a surface inlet, dry well, or other run-off area.

Foundation Drains  Wet basements are generally caused by ground water that is either adjacent to or higher than the basement floor. Install perforated tubing in a gravel envelope completely around the house to prevent water from entering either the basement wall or at the footings. The line should run to a storm sewer or other disposal area.

Window Well Drains  Basement window wells should be drained to prevent rainwater from seeping down to the foundation wall and entering the basement. Run a line of non-perforated tubing from a drain in the bottom of the well to a disposal area.

Septic Fields  Perforated leach bed tubing is ideally suited for septic fields. State and local health codes and soil conditions govern the area of absorption field and methods of installation. Contact regulatory agencies before installation is performed.
