Perimeter Drainage Service

Perimeter Drainage & Wet Basement

​ Life in Langley, Surrey, or for that matter the entire Lower Mainland can get a little wet at times. With some of the highest annual rainfall averages for any metropolitan area in North America it's little wonder that we see a lot of perimeter drainage/drain tile issues.

Moisture issues in homes is known to be difficult to diagnose - if anybody tries to tell you that they know what the problem is without actually coming to your home to see it for themselves you know you probably need to call and get a second opinion. a leak where the floor of your basement meets the wall typically points to issues with your drain tile system, or foundation.

Often the evidence is less obvious  - in fact we have seen what appeared to be problems with drainage and a basement getting quite moist just due to the home having too high humidity.

Diagnosing Drain Tile and Wall Issues: Effective Solutions

Before embarking on any corrective measures you must accurately diagnose the problem, we do this using cameras and digging test holes to assess the condition of the exterior basement wall.

If it turns out that the problem is, in fact, your drain tile, we will clearly lay out a course of action and all of the options that are available to you. We can often repair a perimeter drain if the problem is localized, and if needed, we can conduct a camera inspection to accurately assess the extent of the issue. However, if a full-scale replacement is in order, we have the crew and technology to do so with a minimum disturbance to the home, lawn, etc.

In a replacement scenario we will be responsible for:

• obtaining required permits if required
• taking measures to prevent damage to lawn/landscaping
• repairing and bringing the foundation up to modern standards
• managing city inspections
• leaving the site as clean (or cleaner) than we found it

 It's critical to have a properly functioning perimeter drainage/drain tile system to keep your home safe from the destructive forces of moisture and leaks. The best plumbing company will take care of the job from beginning to end with a minimum of inconvenience.
