Basement water problems are one of the most frequent homeowner complaints in our region of the country. Your home sits in a hole in the ground. The hole would fill with water if it couldn't drain away. Most homes with basements have drain tile installed around the perimeter which collects ground water and takes it away from the foundation. Most homes older than 1973 have drain tiles made from red clay tile, which normally had a lifespan of 30 to 40 years before failure. Many homes built after 1973 had a flimsy black plastic corrugated drain tile installed which was often easily crushed during backfilling.
