Local Drain Tile That Keeps Your Land Working
Beeman Excavating has lived and worked in northern Illinois our whole lives, and we understand what wet ground does to the farmland around us. Farm drainage and tile installation is the system of underground drain tile that pulls excess water out of fields and low areas. We help neighbors and landowners across the DeKalb area keep their ground dry, usable, and productive.
What It Is
Drain tile is a network of perforated pipe installed below the surface to carry water away from saturated soil. It lowers the water table in fields and yards so the ground dries faster and stays workable. For farmland, that means more usable acres and healthier crops; for rural property, it means an end to soggy, unusable ground.

- Install the Tile – We trench and lay perforated tile at the right depth and grade
