drain tile inside or outside basement wall

[Terry123]

My outside drain tile needs replacing. I would like to know if there is a difference between placing the drain tile inside the wall instead of digging up all around the outside of my house to put it outside. trying to save money.

The difference between interior draintile and exterior draintile:

Exterior draintile is designed to catch the water at the footer before it penetrates the foundation walls.

The interior draintile is designed to catch water once it enters foundation and redirect it to sump pumps and/or prevent leaking onto floor etc.

"The interior draintile is designed to catch water once it enters foundation and redirect it to sump pumps and/or prevent leaking onto floor etc."

the only thing i would add is that if you have a high water table, the water isn't entering the foundation, it's coming from below the floor. and with that said, an interior french drain is your only permanent guaranteed solution.

You have choices when it comes to draintile replacement:

The interior draintile is designed to catch water once it enters foundation and redirect it to sump pumps and/or prevent leaking onto floor etc.

You must decide if excavation of exterior is a feasible option and understand limitations due to additions / decks / pavers and loss of landscaping. With interior method you may lose finished areas / drywall / paneling etc.
