[QUOTE="Auggie, post: 253520, member: 237"] Typical drain tile is 20-60ft spacing. That's dependent on your drainage coefficient. Most drain tile system run around 3/8in water per 24hr period. First you need to determine your drainage coefficient (in water per 24hr). From there, you need to figure out your soil texture or do a percolation test. Web soil survey can help, bit I'd contact a professional soil classifier. The $500-1,000 you spend in that will help insure your project does what you want it to do. For installation, 5-3ft is common. Maybe around the foundation you could go with one line very deep and one fairly shallow. A ditxhh-whitch might dig the trench you need for the tile. If you have a ditch, just make it so the lines drops off the water there. Otherwise, you'll need a sump. That can get expensive. [/QUOTE]
