We have spent over 13 years serving the Lower Mainland, and we know exactly what it takes to maintain optimal drainage in our local climate.

Protecting Your Home from Water Damage

Water pooling around your foundation can lead to severe structural issues and costly repairs. In Burnaby, where the coastal climate brings significant precipitation throughout the fall and winter months, having a robust drainage system is absolutely essential. We specialize in identifying the root causes of poor drainage, such as clogged perimeter drains, collapsed pipes, invasive tree roots, or improper yard grading. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment, including high-resolution video cameras, to pinpoint blockages and structural failures deep underground without unnecessary digging. Once we identify the exact problem, we implement effective, long-lasting solutions that direct water safely away from your home and foundation.

Expert Perimeter Drain Repair and Replacement

Perimeter drains, also known as weeping tiles, are your first line of defense against basement flooding. Many older homes in Burnaby still rely on original clay or concrete drain tiles that naturally degrade, crack, and collapse over time. When these outdated systems fail, groundwater can easily seep into your basement or crawlspace, causing mold growth and property damage. We offer professional perimeter drain inspection, targeted repair, and full system replacement services. Our crew carefully excavates the affected areas, removes the compromised pipes, and installs modern, perforated PVC drainage systems that offer superior durability and maximum flow capacity. We take immense pride in our meticulous workmanship and always ensure your landscaping is restored and your property is left clean and tidy.

Sump Pump Installation and Maintenance

A reliable sump pump is a critical component of any comprehensive drainage strategy, especially for properties situated in lower elevations or areas with high water tables. We install high-quality sump pump systems that automatically remove excess water before it can cause devastating damage to your finished basement or storage areas. Our team also provides routine maintenance services to ensure your pump is always primed and ready for the next heavy rainstorm. We highly recommend and install battery backup systems, giving you complete peace of mind even during severe weather power outages. If you are experiencing drainage issues or want to upgrade your current setup, do not wait for a flood to occur. Call us at 604-343-1985 to schedule a thorough assessment of your property.

Trenchless Sewer and Drain Repair

Whenever possible, we utilize advanced trenchless technology to repair damaged drainage pipes without destroying your beautiful landscaping, driveway, or patio. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for Burnaby homeowners who want to preserve their mature gardens or custom hardscaping. By accessing the pipes through existing cleanouts, we can clear stubborn blockages, repair minor cracks, and even line aging pipes with epoxy to restore their structural integrity. Trenchless repairs are often significantly faster, cleaner, and less disruptive than traditional open-trench excavation methods. Our ongoing commitment to using the latest industry techniques ensures you receive the most efficient, cost-effective, and reliable drainage services available anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my perimeter drains need to be replaced?

Common signs of failing perimeter drains include water pooling in your yard, damp spots on your basement walls, a musty smell in your lower levels, and visible cracks in your foundation. If your Burnaby home was built before the 1980s and still has original clay tiles, it is highly likely they need an inspection or replacement.

What is a sump pump and do I need one?

A sump pump is a device installed in a pit at the lowest point of your basement or crawlspace. It actively pumps accumulating groundwater away from your foundation. If you live in an area with a high water table or have experienced basement flooding in the past, a sump pump is a vital investment to protect your home.

How often should I have my drainage system inspected?

We recommend having your drainage system professionally inspected every two to three years. Regular maintenance and camera inspections can catch minor issues like root intrusions or sediment buildup before they turn into major blockages or pipe collapses.

Can you fix my drainage pipes without digging up my yard?

Yes, in many cases we can use trenchless technology to repair or line your existing pipes. This method requires minimal digging and preserves your landscaping. However, severely collapsed pipes may still require traditional excavation. We will assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach.

What should I do if my basement is currently flooding?

If you are experiencing an active flood, prioritize your safety by turning off the electricity to the affected area if it is safe to do so. Move valuable items to higher ground and call our emergency line immediately at 604-343-1985. Our team will dispatch a technician to address the issue as quickly as possible.

Are your drainage services covered by insurance?

Coverage depends entirely on your specific homeowner's insurance policy and the cause of the drainage failure. We provide detailed invoices and inspection reports that you can submit to your insurance provider to assist with your claim process.
