What Does Tiled Land Mean

The installation of tile allows salts to flush out of the soil, increasing the plant available water in all situations. In years that start wet, having air in the soil allows the crops to root deeper and be better prepared to use any water. Simply put, tiled ground always yields more.

Why do farmers put tile in their fields?

Farmers use tile drain systems to lower the water table below the root zone of the crop, helping avoid negative impacts on the plants due to saturated soils and thus increasing yield. In addition, farmers can more easily manage their tile-drained fields without damaging or compacting wet soil.

How long does tile drainage last?

Perimeter drains or weeping tiles can last for decades. If properly installed, you can expect to have a problem free basement for a very long time. Older clay weeping tiles tended to deteriorate, and become clogged with soil and tree roots, but even these systems lasted for many years.
