Drainage Tile Solves Underground Water Issues In Asphalt Parking Lots
Ground water coming to the surface through cracks in your parking lot is caused by hydrostatic pressure. One of the most effective ways of alleviating this pressure and the seepage it causes is to install drain tile under your asphalt parking lot or concrete sidewalk.

Indications that drainage tile is needed are usually some form of water seeping up through the asphalt, either through hairline cracks, potholes, or areas of the asphalt which are always saturated. Exterior drain tile is typically installed in these areas and then plumbed into a catch basin or culvert.
Water coming up to the surface is caused by hydrostatic pressure from either a high water table or water being forced to the surface from a higher elevation when the asphalt parking lot resides in a lower elevation.
It is highly recommended ground water issues be remediated in asphalt parking lots for several reason:
When your budget permits permanent repairs, it is advisable to install a drainage tile network in the areas showing signs of hydrostatic pressure and redirect the water into a catch basin or other drainage swale / culvert.
What Is The Cost To Install Drainage Tile / Underdrain / French Drain?
The costs vary from the size and complexity of the project. On the low side you will probably pay a minimum mobilization of $2,500.00 for a run of less than 100 lineal feet and depending on the amount of asphalt patching required and if the asphalt patching can be completed as part of a paving project for the property. For larger projects you should safely budget $15.00 - $25.00 per lineal foot.
