The tile guys are very good at looking at arial photos from 1992 (wet year) and seeing the tile on the maps. Doesn't take them long to probe and find the lines. I told them a couple places I donno exactly where but a tile is abouyt here somewhere. They got it in 5-10 minutes.

If you dead end the tile, you are just moving your wet spot. You can 'end' on a waterway or something that will let the water run to a ditch/stream/creek, but if you just deadend in another area with no outlet, you only move the wet area, it doesn't go away. Dirt is a sponge, if you have a wet spot the ground is saturated, a whole lot more water than what is sitting on top. Tile will move a lot of water. You empty the whole sponge.

How different wet heavy clay soils are from the soils/ rainfall some of you deal with.
