Residential Drainage for Metro Vancouver Homeowners
Most of our work is for homeowners dealing with water — a wet basement, a soggy yard, a slow drain, or a perimeter drain that has reached the end of its life. Residential drainage is different from commercial work: the properties are smaller, the access is tighter, the homeowner is usually the one living with the problem, and the goal is a permanent fix that protects the house without unnecessary work. We handle the full range of residential drainage across Metro Vancouver, from a single blocked drain to a full perimeter drain replacement.
The residential drainage problems we solve
These are the calls we get most often from homeowners.
- Water seeping in at the basement floor-to-wall joint
- A yard that stays wet for days after rain
- A drain that keeps blocking in the same spot
- An older home with the original perimeter drain still in the ground
- Surface water running toward the house from a slope or a neighbour's property
How we approach a residential drainage problem
We start by understanding where the water is coming from and where it needs to go, not by quoting a solution. That usually means a camera inspection, a walk of the property, and a conversation about when the problem happens and what it looks like. Then we explain what is actually wrong and what the options are — which may be a cleaning, a targeted repair, a French drain, or a full perimeter drain replacement. We will not sell you a replacement you do not need, and we will not sell you a cleaning that will not hold.
Working on homes people live in
Residential work happens on properties where people are living, with gardens, pets, kids, and schedules. We plan access, contain the site, and restore the surface. A perimeter drain replacement is disruptive for a few days, but we keep it as contained as the job allows and we communicate throughout.
