Basement Waterproofing Drain Tiles: Differences Between Exterior Drain Tiles & French Drain Tiles

• Exterior Drain Tiles: Installed around a building's foundation to prevent water from seeping into basements or crawl spaces. These systems use perforated pipes buried in gravel-filled trenches to capture groundwater and channel it away, protecting the foundation from water damage.
• French Drain Tiles: Versatile systems used to manage surface water in various areas, such as yards, driveways, or retaining walls. They consist of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from areas prone to pooling. While they can protect foundations, their primary function is to address broader drainage issues in outdoor spaces.

An exterior drain tile system is a network of perforated pipes installed around the foundation walls of a building, typically near the basement floor. This system's purpose is to collect and redirect excess water away from your home, preventing water infiltration, basement flooding, and potential structural damage.
