Professional Drain Tile Repair Services
When water starts seeping into your basement, the issue often begins with a damaged or clogged drain tile system. Whether you’re noticing wet spots near the walls, water pooling around floor cracks, or musty odors rising from below, these are signs your drainage system may be failing. At Accurate Basement Repair, we specialize in drain tile repair that targets the problem at its source, restoring your basement’s protection without unnecessary demolition or full system replacement.
Our experienced team will perform a detailed inspection to determine what’s causing the breakdown. In many cases, only a section of the drain tile needs repair and not the entire system. That means less disruption, lower cost, and faster results.

Signs Your Drain Tile System Needs Repair
A failing drain tile system doesn’t always show obvious symptoms at first. Over time, though, moisture will begin to find its way in. Here are common signs that your drain tile may need professional repair:

Water seepage near walls or floor cracks
Even small puddles or damp spots can point to a deeper drainage issue.

Damp or stained basement walls
Moisture trapped behind walls can leave mineral deposits (efflorescence) or discoloration near the floor.

Mold or musty odors
Persistent dampness can create the perfect environment for mold growth.

Sump pump running constantly or not at all
If your sump pump seems overactive or rarely runs despite moisture, your drain tile system could be the cause.

Tree roots or sediment in the sump basin
Visible debris at the Palmer valve or in the basin may indicate blockages in your system.
Not sure if what you’re seeing is serious?
If you’re noticing any of these warning signs, a drain tile inspection from Accurate Basement Repair can help pinpoint the issue before it gets worse.
What Causes Drain Tile Failure?
Drain tile systems are designed to last, but they’re not immune to damage. Over time, several factors can lead to clogs, collapse, or poor drainage performance. Understanding the root cause is essential to choosing the right repair approach.
Here are the most common reasons drain tile systems fail:
Clogged pipes
Silt, soil, or debris buildup can block the flow of water, forcing it back toward your basement.Crushed or collapsed sections
Soil pressure, improper installation, or heavy surface loads can crush the piping, stopping drainage altogether.Tree or shrub roots
Roots seeking moisture may enter the drain tile system and cause blockages or cracks.Settling or shifting soil
A damaged foundation lets water in. That can lead to rot, mildew, and poor indoor air quality, fast.Improper slope or design
If the original system wasn’t installed with the correct pitch or outlet, water may never reach the sump pump efficiently.
