Drainage & Field Tile Repair

A field that's gone wet in a spot it never used to. Water backing up at the outlet. A sinkhole opening over an old tile line. When tile quits, the ground tells on it — and the fix is to find the failure and put the water back in the pipe.

Brohez Trucking LLC repairs field and drainage tile across central Illinois. Old clay tile that's collapsed with age. Modern HDPE crushed by deep tillage or heavy equipment. Outlets buried during a fence row push-out. Risers and inlets that have failed. We locate the break, dig down to it, splice or replace the bad run, and tie it back to the main at the right grade.

We're a repair shop on tile — not a tile-install crew. We don't run fresh pattern tile across a field; that's a different trade and a different machine. But if you've got an existing system that's failing, that's exactly our work, and we get it draining again.

🛠️ Repair, Not Install

We repair broken, crushed, and collapsed tile, blown-out outlets, failed risers, and tile that's lost grade. We do not install new field tile systems. If you need fresh pattern tile run across acreage, we'll point you to a tiling outfit — and we're glad to handle the repairs after.

One contractor for the locate, the dig, the pipe, the gravel, and the backfill — and the outlet rebuild if the failure is down there too. Call and we'll come look. The estimate is free.

Our Tile Repair Process

Most tile repairs follow the same shape — find it, fix it, tie it back, leave it draining.

STEP 01

Read The Symptoms

A new wet spot, a surface blowout, a sinkhole over the line, or water backing up at the outlet each point somewhere different. We start from what the ground is telling us. Free estimate.

STEP 02

Locate The Failure

We trace the run, probe, and dig test holes to put eyes on the break. Locates get called before any digging starts.

STEP 03

Dig Down To It

We open the trench to the tile at the right depth, careful not to disturb the sound pipe on either side of the failure.

STEP 04

Splice Or Replace

The failed section comes out. New HDPE pipe goes in, coupled to the sound tile on both ends, set at the original grade so it drains like it was meant to.

STEP 05

Rebuild The Outlet

If the failure is at the outlet — blown-out pipe, eroded rock, crushed riser — we rebuild and protect it so the whole system keeps draining.

STEP 06

Backfill & Restore

Trench backfilled in lifts, surface restored, and graded smooth. Field ground gets disced back ready for the next pass; yard ground gets seeded.

Every Kind Of Tile Failure

From a single blowout to a collapsed main under a fence line — if the tile's failing, we fix it.

Broken & Crushed Tile

HDPE tile crushed by deep tillage, heavy equipment, or settling — located, dug up, and spliced back to sound pipe at the right grade.

Collapsed Clay Tile

Old clay tile that's failed with age. We cut out the collapsed run and splice in new HDPE tied back to the sound clay on both ends.

Blown-Out Outlets

Outlet pipes that have washed out, eroded outlet rock, and lost main connections rebuilt and protected so the system keeps draining.

Failed Risers & Inlets

Crushed risers and surface inlets that have quit working, repaired or replaced and tied back to the line.

Tile That Lost Grade

A section that settled into a flat spot or reverse grade silts in and quits draining. We re-dig and re-set the run so water flows downhill the whole way.

Fence Row Outlet Damage

Outlets and tile buried or broken during a fence row push-out, located and rebuilt as part of land-clearing cleanup.

Sinkholes Over The Line

A hole opening over a tile run usually means a joint has failed and soil is washing in. We find it, fix it, and stop the loss before it gets bigger.

Locate & Tie-In

Can't find where the old tile runs? We trace, probe, and locate existing lines so a repair or a new yard drain can tie into the right main.

Field Tile Repair FAQs

Do you install new field tile?

No — we repair field tile, we don't install fresh tile systems. Broken, crushed, or collapsed lines, blown-out outlets, failed risers, and tile that's lost grade are our work. New pattern-tile installs across a field are a different trade and a different machine.

How do you find a broken field tile?

We follow the symptoms — a new wet spot, a surface blowout, a sinkhole over the line, or water backing up at the outlet. From there we trace the run, probe, and dig test holes to find the failure.

What makes field tile fail?

Old clay tile collapses with age. Modern HDPE gets crushed by deep tillage, heavy equipment, or settling. Outlets get buried during a fence row push-out or eroded away. Roots clog lines. And tile set with a flat spot silts in and quits draining.

Can you repair an old clay tile system?

Yes. When a section collapses we dig down, cut out the failed run, and splice in new HDPE tied back to the sound clay on both ends — at the right grade so it drains like the original was meant to.

How much does field tile repair cost?

Depends on how deep the tile is, how much we have to dig to reach the failure, and whether the outlet needs rebuilt too. A single shallow blowout is one number; a deep main repair is another. Free estimate — call (217) 809-0779.

Do you fix tile outlets and risers?

Yes — blown-out outlet pipes, eroded outlet rock, crushed risers, and failed surface inlets. A tile is only as good as its outlet, so we rebuild and protect them.
