Rain runs off the roof, into the leaders, down through drain rock to the perimeter drain, then out to the storm connection or sump — keeping water off the foundation wall.

Drain Tile — quick answer

Drain tile is the perforated pipe buried at the base of a foundation footing that carries groundwater away from the house. In the Lower Mainland it is repaired, fully replaced, camera-inspected or flushed clean. Clay and concrete tile from before the 1970s is usually replaced rather than repaired.
