Drain tile systems protect your foundation by collecting groundwater before it can enter your basement. When properly installed, drain tile relieves hydrostatic pressure, prevents water intrusion, and keeps basements dry, even during Illinois’ heavy rain and seasonal groundwater fluctuations.

Bana Landscaping provides professional drain tile installation throughout Kankakee County, delivering long-term foundation protection for residential and commercial properties.

Why Drain Tile Is Important in Kankakee County

Properties in Kankakee County often experience:

• High groundwater levels
• Clay-heavy soils that retain moisture
• Basement seepage after heavy rain
• Hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls

Without proper drainage, water builds up around the foundation and forces its way inside through cracks, joints, or porous concrete.

Drain tile systems intercept this water underground and safely redirect it away from your structure.

Our Drain Tile Installation Services

Complete Drain Tile Installation

We install exterior drain tile systems designed to:

• Collect groundwater around the foundation
• Relieve pressure against basement walls
• Prevent water from entering below-grade spaces

Each system is custom-designed based on soil conditions, water volume, and foundation layout.

Our Drain Tile Installation Process

Site Evaluation & Moisture Assessment

Every project begins with a detailed evaluation of:

• Groundwater behavior around the foundation
• Soil type and drainage characteristics
• Existing water intrusion points
• Discharge options and site access

This allows us to design a system that works reliably long-term.

Trench Excavation & Foundation Access

We excavate along the foundation perimeter to the proper depth, exposing the footing while minimizing disruption to landscaping and structures.

Drain Pipe & Aggregate Installation

Perforated drain pipe is installed at the footing level, surrounded by clean aggregate to promote efficient water collection. Proper slope is maintained to ensure gravity-driven flow.

Filter Fabric & System Protection

Filter fabric is used to prevent soil intrusion and clogging, extending the lifespan of the drain tile system while maintaining consistent water movement.

Discharge & Sump Integration

Collected water is directed away from the foundation through:

• Gravity discharge where conditions allow
• Sump pump systems when necessary

Discharge methods are selected based on site layout and local requirements.
