It does not matter if you have a totally finished living space in your basement or if it is just full of old holiday decorations. You always want to keep water out. There are a lot of problems that a damp basement in Manhattan KS can lead to. From the promotion of mold growth to property damage and reduced air quality, water in your basement is never a pleasant situation. Standard Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning can help you avoid these problems with the installation of a drain tile system.
A drain tile system is made up of multiple components installed in the floor of your basement. The drain tile is a pipe that has holes drilled along it. This allows it to funnel water. It is surrounded by gravel. The way these components work together is simple yet ingenious. Water, like anything else, will naturally travel along the path offering the least resistance. Gravel is looser and easier for water to travel through than is the soil surrounding your home. The water goes through the gravel of its own accord, rather than into the ground surrounding your home into your basement. It is then funneled into the pipe. A cover is installed over the gravel to keep debris from clogging it, reducing the need for maintenance.
Once the water has made its way into the pipe it is diverted to a water outlet, which obviously sends the water on its way away from your home. Ideally there will be a downhill direction for it to travel in using only gravity. If this is not possible a sump pump may be utilized to usher the water along. A professional plumber will be able to determine the best method for your property.
If you have frequent problems with a damp or flooding basement you may want to consider the installation of a drain tile system on your property in Manhattan KS.
