The sloped properties around Port Moody inlet deal with water concentrating against downhill foundations, and the newer construction on the surrounding hills brings surface grading and stormwater questions. The standard fix for the slopes is the same as the North Shore — intercept drains above the house, surface grading, and a working perimeter drain at the footing. We assess the slope and the existing drainage before recommending what is needed.
Homes on the slopes above Port Moody inlet deal with concentrated surface and subsurface water during rain. The standard approach — grading and swales to direct surface water, an intercept drain uphill of the house, and a working perimeter drain at the footing — is what keeps these properties dry. We assess the slope, the soil, and the existing drainage before recommending what is needed.

Water runs down the slope to my Port Moody home. What will stop it?
An intercept drain placed uphill of the house captures surface and shallow subsurface water and carries it around the foundation to a safe outlet, so far less water reaches the perimeter drain. Combined with surface grading, this is the standard fix for sloped properties.
