drainage pipe

Runoff removal tube

A drainage pipe is a tube or conduit designed to carry away excess water, sewage, or other liquid waste from a particular area.

These pipes are typically installed underground or within building walls, directing water from roofs, basements, fields, or roadways to appropriate disposal points such as storm drains, septic systems, or treatment facilities.

The old drainage pipe had cracked, causing water to pool in the basement.
