The most common problems are skewed, collapsed, or broken tile. Wet spots on the field that used to drain properly may indicate such problems. There also may be a blowout where water is bubbling up out of the ground or where soil has been pulled into the line. Examine the drainage outlet, and if there is any sediment, one should start looking for unusual wet spots on the field. Tile can break down from old age and cumulative loading. Older tile are more likely to have problem, as they are not designed for today's heavy equipment and hinge loads. Improper installation also can lead to drainage failure in home. If tile is not installed below the frost line, freeze-thaw cycles can fracture tile. The original quality of tile itself is important to maintain the home. If the tile materials absorb too much water, the tile is more likely to collapse over the period of time.

Save house before mess
Controlling water above ground often can prevent water from getting into basements. Correcting the aboveground problems may prevent structural damage to the home, as well as dry up those basement damp spots too. The saturated soil increases the soil pressure on the basement walls, which can lead to cracks, shifts, collapses and other structural problems and create foul smell at home. Start by looking to the roof, an inch of water on 1,000 square feet of roof amounts to about 623 gallons of water. Getting all that water away from the house is a big first step to preventing basement problems. That is why all eave trough downspouts should have extensions to carry the water several feet from the house. In addition, clean eave troughs and verify that they are functioning in proper way. Slope the ground to carry water away from the downspout discharge, as well, and make sure the soil on the surface next to the house has low permeability to reduce infiltration immediately.
Tips for better drainage
Installing a gutter system where the basement walls join the floor. It will collect water coming through a wall, but will not solve the problem of water coming through a floor due to a high water table. So it is important to install the system correctly or find a contractor who knows how to do the job.
