Weeping Tile Installation & Repair Edmonton
Keep Water Out and Protect Your Foundation
How Weeping Tile Systems Work
Weeping tile systems can play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage by controlling groundwater around your foundation. Installed along the base of the foundation, weeping tile consists of perforated drainage pipes designed to collect and redirect excess water away from your home before it can build up and cause damage.
When functioning properly, a weeping tile system helps prevent basement leaks, moisture intrusion, and long-term structural issues. However, over time, soil movement, sediment buildup, and root intrusion can restrict or damage the system, reducing its ability to drain water effectively.
Shield Foundation Repair provides professional weeping tile installation and repair services in Edmonton, helping homeowners manage water at its source and protect their foundation from moisture-related damage.
Signs Your Weeping Tile May Be Failing
Be alert to these indicators:
- Basement floors that are heaving or cracking.
- Visible signs of ground level efflorescence or deteriorating floor surfaces.
- Moisture seeping up from beneath the basement floor.
These symptoms suggest that your weeping tile system may not be functioning properly, allowing water to accumulate around your foundation.

Inspection and Diagnosis Using the Latest Technology
Shield Foundation Repair uses a video camera for weeping tile inspections and repair work. These camera systems consist of a long insertion probe with a flexible goose-neck probe for getting around corners. LED lights give excellent illumination and a small camera on the tip captures clear images and allows image saving.
Video scopes are great tools that can be used to locate weeping tile problems such as blockages, root problems or pipe failures. These problems can be serious and lead to a disappointing waste of time and money if not diagnosed correctly. Our camera inspection provides customers with a clear idea of what needs to be done and where.
Weeping Tile Jet Flush
If your weeping tile system does have a blockage, high-pressure flushing may be the solution. Also known as weeping tile jetting, high-pressure flushing is a great alternative to replacing your entire weeping tile system.
A hose line is inserted into the weeping tile, and high-pressure water is jetted throughout your system. Whether the debris is clay, sediment, soil or minerals, the water flushes it out of the weeping tile and back towards the system operator.
When you think you have a problem with your weeping tile system, don’t wait for it to get out of hand. Call Shield Foundation Repair today for a weeping tile inspection and diagnosis. Acting now may save you thousands later.
