Perforated drain pipes are most commonly used to move rainwater away from the house so that it can drain elsewhere. Commonly situated near the base of your home's foundations, perforated drain pipes help provide optimal drainage for your property so that the likelihood of standing groundwater is significantly reduced.

When should you use a perforated drain pipe?

In general terms, whether using corrugated or sewer and drain pipe, perforated pipe is used for subsurface drainage and solid pipe is used to convey water from surface and/or subsurface drainage systems.

Why use a perforated pipe?

A perforated pipe is designed to allow water to enter or exit through small holes or slots along the pipe. This pipe can make a great underground drainage system, particularly for outdoor uses, since it absorbs water and drains it out of the way.
