Drainage Contractors in Pitt Meadows
In Pitt Meadows the residential drainage work is about moving surface and groundwater off flat, low-lying floodplain ground where gravity is not enough. The area relies on ditch networks, pump stations, and engineered systems rather than natural fall, so we use catch basins, underground lines, and sump systems tied to the available storm infrastructure to move water to an outlet that can handle it.
Drainage on floodplain ground
On flat floodplain ground with a high water table, a drainage system has to be engineered around the reality that water does not always want to flow away on its own. We assess the available outlets — a storm connection, a ditch, or a pumped discharge — and build a system that actually moves water rather than just collecting it.
Ditch networks, pump stations, and property drainage ties
Pitt Meadows relies on a network of ditches and pump stations to move water off flat floodplain ground, and many properties tie their drainage into that system. When a ditch is filled in, overgrown, or a property's connection to it has failed, the on-site drainage loses its outlet and the yard or basement floods. We check whether the property's drainage actually reaches a functioning outlet — a ditch, a storm connection, or a sump — because a drain system with no discharge is just a collection point that eventually overflows.
Basement waterproofing, wet basement repairs & drain inspections in Pitt Meadows
Water in a basement is rarely just one problem. It can be a failed perimeter drain letting groundwater in at the footing, a crack in the foundation wall, or a waterproofing membrane that has broken down over decades. We start with a drain camera inspection to see what is happening inside the pipe, then determine whether the fix is a wet basement repair, basement waterproofing with an exterior membrane and drainage board, or damp proofing of the foundation wall to stop moisture wicking through the concrete. For older Pitt Meadows homes with original drainage, the answer is often a combination of drain repair and waterproofing — and we show you the camera footage before recommending anything.
How a drainage system protects your Pitt Meadows home
Most people never think about their drainage system until it stops working. Here is what a complete system looks like — and where water goes when everything is doing its job.
Rain on roof
Gutters collect it
Downspout
Carries it down
Membrane
Protects the wall
Drain rock
Filters the water
Perimeter drain
Collects groundwater
To sump/storm
Discharged safely
A working drainage system moves water off the roof, away from the foundation wall, and out to a safe discharge point — before it can build up against your foundation.

My Pitt Meadows property floods in heavy rain even though it has drains. Why?
The drains may be discharging to a point that cannot handle the volume, or the system may rely on gravity where a pump is needed. We assess the outlets and the flow path to find where the system is falling short.
The municipal ditch near my Pitt Meadows property is overgrown. Who is responsible?
Municipal ditches are typically maintained by the municipality, but the connection from your property to the ditch — and the ditch frontage — are often the homeowner's responsibility. If the ditch is overgrown and your property drains into it, the reduced capacity may be causing your flooding. We can assess the connection and advise whether the issue is on your side or needs to be raised with the municipality.
