Weeping tiles are pipes with little holes located underground around the basement foundation. When it rains, water filters into the ground. These pipes capture this water and take it away from the foundation walls to prevent groundwater from entering the basement

What is the purpose of footings? Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling.

What is the difference between footing and foundation? Where as a footing is the bottom most part of a foundation, meaning, not all foundations are footings but all footings have foundations to be on. A footing is a foundation unit constructed in brick work, masonry or concrete under the base of a wall or a column for the purpose of distributing the load over a large area.
