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.
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.
These are the services we are most often called for in Pitt Meadows. Each links to a page with more detail on what is involved.
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.
