Meet the Advanced Drainage Systems 3 in. D x 100 ft. L Polyethylene Slotted Corrugated Drainage Tubing/Sock—the smart, dependable solution for rapid groundwater management and foundation protection. Built with durable polyethylene, this 3-inch diameter slotted tube is designed to capture and convey subsurface moisture away from critical areas, helping to prevent pooling, soil erosion, and hydrostatic pressure.
What makes this tubing stand out
Designed for performance in real-world projects, this tubing combines a corrugated exterior for flexibility and strength with a precision-slotted interior that invites consistent water collection along its entire length. The included sock offers a soil-filtering layer, reducing sediment ingress and helping keep drainage paths clear over time. With a generous 100 ft length, you get uninterrupted coverage for larger jobs or multiple applications from a single roll.
Key features
-
3 in. inside diameter (ID) with 3.6 in. outer diameter (OD) for optimal water capture and compatibility with standard 3 in. perforated systems
-
Slotted design ensures water enters the pipe quickly along its length, improving drainage efficiency
-
Corrugated construction provides flexibility for bends and contours while maintaining structural integrity under trench conditions
-
Integrated sock acts as a sediment filter, reducing clogging and extending system life
-
Long length of 100 ft per roll offers substantial coverage for basements, foundations, landscape beds, and French drain installations
Ideal uses and scenarios
This tubing is well suited for:
- Foundation drainage and basement waterproofing projects where effective water management matters most
- Landscape drainage to prevent soggy zones, swimming pool surrounds, or low spots in yards
- French drains or under-slab drainage systems needing a durable, easy-to-install conduit
- Industrial or educational campuses requiring scalable, reliable subsurface moisture control
Why choose this tubing over alternatives
Compared to non-slotted or fabric-free options, this Advanced Drainage Systems tubing provides two-tier benefits: efficient water collection through the slots and reduced maintenance thanks to the sock that minimizes sediment entry. The corrugated profile adds resilience against crushing or deformation when buried, while the 100 ft length minimizes the need for frequent re-supply on larger jobs.
Practical tips for install and care
- Plan trench depth to ensure the discharge point remains above potential frost line and away from high-traffic areas
- Pair with compatible perforated risers and filter fabrics to optimize performance in variable soil conditions
- Install with proper backfill to prevent movement and protect the sock from abrasion
- Inspect the system after the first major rain event to verify even water distribution and confirm there are no slow spots
Whether you’re protecting a home foundation, shaping a drought-resistant landscape, or upgrading an aging drainage system, this 3 in. x 100 ft. polyethylene slotted corrugated tubing with sock delivers dependable flow, easy handling, and lasting durability for lasting peace of mind.
