In Delta — Ladner, North Delta, and Tsawwassen — the drainage challenge is moving water off flat, low-lying ground with limited fall, often relying on ditch systems and storm connections. When a property is redeveloped or a ditch is filled in, that water has to go somewhere. We install catch basins, underground lines, and sump systems to replace what gravity and the old ditch network used to do.
In parts of Delta, the property drainage historically relied on open ditches and the municipal ditch system. When a property is redeveloped or the ditches are filled in, that water has to go somewhere, and without an engineered replacement the yard floods. We install catch basins, underground lines, and sump systems to replace what the ditch network used to do.
These are the services we are most often called for in Delta. Each links to a page with more detail on what is involved.
The ditch along my Delta property was filled in and now my yard floods. What happened?
The ditch was likely carrying water away from your property and several neighbouring ones. Removing it without an underground replacement means the water has no outlet. We can install an underground line and catch basins to replace the function the ditch provided.
Tell us what is happening and where. We will call you back the same business day to discuss the problem and arrange an inspection if needed.
