Move water away from your home and foundation with a properly installed drain tile system built for Northern Michigan weather.
Michigan Gutters Inc. is the expert when it comes to ditching and drain tile. Drain tile helps carry water away from your home and foundation and releases it safely where it won’t cause damage.
We use a trencher for longer runs and hand-dig areas that require extra attention to detail. Drain tile is typically installed below the frost line. In most installations, a solid pipe connects to the downspout to direct water away from the home, then transitions to a perforated pipe.
The perforated pipe is wrapped in nylon mesh to help keep soil out while still allowing water to disperse into the surrounding soil. At the termination point, there is typically a pop-up emitter or a grate to allow water to release safely if the underground system gets overwhelmed.
If you have trees nearby, we recommend a downspout strainer or gutter protection to help prevent backups.
