Drainage Contractors in New Westminster
If your New Westminster heritage home has a wet basement, the perimeter drain is the most likely cause. The older homes in Queens Park, the West End, and across the city were built with drainage that is now 70 to over 100 years old and has either failed or is on borrowed time. We inspect first, then repair or replace the perimeter drain — carefully, on an occupied heritage home, without damaging the structure.
Heritage homes and old drainage
A heritage New Westminster home with a full basement was typically built with perimeter drainage that is now 70 to over 100 years old. At that age, the system has either failed or is on borrowed time. The challenge with heritage homes is doing the work carefully — exposing and replacing a failed perimeter drain without damaging the structure or the character of the property. We plan access and sequencing to keep an occupied heritage home liveable during the work.

Can you replace a perimeter drain on a heritage home without damaging it?
Yes, with careful planning. We work in sections, shore where needed, and keep the structure stable throughout. The work is disruptive for a few days but a failed perimeter drain on a heritage home will eventually cause foundation damage that is far more disruptive and expensive.
