One of the most important elements of keeping a basement dry and waterproof is effectively draining water away from a home’s foundation walls.

For this, we use the best drainage product on the market; Big ‘O’ 4 inch weeping tile with a filter soc from Armtec.

WHAT DOES A WEEPING TILE DO?

Also known as “drain tile”, a weeping tile is designed to collect water (e.g. natural ground water, rain, snow melt etc.,) to prevent it from impacting your foundations walls by safely carrying it away from the foundation of your home.

Weeping tiles are placed at the base of the outside foundation wall and buried underneath a porous material like stone.

The Armtec 4 inch weeping tile is a crucial part of our basement waterproofing system by managing moisture and protecting your foundation.

WHAT MAKES THE WEEPING TILE FROM ARMTEC BEST FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING?

As Armtec puts it, their weeping tile is a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) tubing that provides superior performance, but lets look closer at some specific reasons that make it superior.

1. DURABILITY. It’s very resistant to chemicals and abrasions, which is important since it will be buried under rock. It’s completely unaffected by freeze / thaw cycles.
   
   
2. VERSATILITY. It’s strong yet flexible so it can be combined with the Platon Membrane Wrap to offer a waterproofing system for any foundation.
   
   
3. SAFETY. Thanks to the included polyester filter cloth, it filters out direct and debris which prevents damage or clogging to the weeping tile after it’s installed and buried.
   
   
4. COST EFFECTIVE. Armtec utilized efficient state of the art manufacturing equipment to drive down the cost of their products. These savings are then passed onto our customers to help get you the best basement waterproofing service at a reasonable price.
