Weeping Tile & Drainage in Toronto
Old clay weeping tile collapses and fills with roots. We replace it so water drains away from your foundation again.
Drainage That Keeps Working
Weeping tile is the drain at the base of your foundation. In most homes built before the 1960s it's clay, and after 60 or more years it's broken, shifted or packed with soil. When it stops draining, water builds up against the wall and pushes into the basement.
We dig it out and replace it with new perforated pipe wrapped in filter sock and bedded in clear stone. For yards that hold water, we also install surface drains and French drains to carry it away.

Questions
How do I know my weeping tile has failed?
Water at the base of the wall after heavy rain, a sump that never runs, or a camera inspection showing collapsed pipe. Clay tile over 50 years old is a common culprit.
Can weeping tile be replaced from inside?
Yes. An interior perimeter drain does the same job from inside, and it's common on tight lots where you can't dig outside.
Do you fix yard drainage too?
Yes: French drains, surface drains and grading so water moves away from the house.
