Standing water, a wet basement or a backed-up exterior drain can have several causes. A clogged perimeter drain , damaged drain tile, tree roots, a broken downspout connection or a foundation problem can all affect how water moves around a property.
Instead of assuming the entire drainage system needs replacement, we start by determining what is actually happening.
When accessible, our specialists use drain camera inspections and underground locating equipment to identify blockages, roots, broken connections and collapsed pipe. If the line is structurally sound but clogged, hydro flushing may restore proper flow without excavation.
If damage is found, we can recommend targeted repair, excavation or replacement based on the condition of the drainage system.
From underground drain cleaning and inspection to excavation, waterproofing and foundation work, our team provides solutions for water problems above and below ground.

You don't need to diagnose an underground water problem yourself. Tell us what is happening at your property and our specialists can determine what should be inspected.
Recurring pooling can be caused by clogged underground drains, inadequate yard drainage, poor water redirection or damaged drainage lines.
Basement water may be related to failed perimeter drainage, groundwater, foundation cracks or waterproofing problems.
Mud, sediment, leaves, organic debris and roots can restrict underground pipes and prevent proper water flow.
Foundation cracks can allow moisture into the building and may require foundation repair, waterproofing or drainage correction.
Roots can enter older drain tile and underground pipe connections, causing recurring blockages and potentially damaging the pipe.
Older clay and tile drainage systems can crack, separate or collapse underground, restricting drainage around the foundation.
Mud, leaves and sediment can clog catch basins or connected drainage lines, contributing to standing water and surface flooding.
Underground downspout drains can become clogged, broken or disconnected, preventing roof water from draining properly away.
Much of a property's drainage system is underground. Diagnosing the problem first helps determine whether the appropriate solution is cleaning, targeted repair or replacement.
We review the symptoms, property layout, drainage access points and areas where water is collecting, backing up or entering the building.
When accessible, professional drain camera equipment can provide a view inside underground drainage pipes.
We look for sediment, roots, blockages, broken connections, damaged pipe and collapsed sections. Locating equipment may also help identify problem areas.
Depending on what we find, the work may involve hydro flushing, root removal, targeted repair, excavation, waterproofing, installation or replacement.
Not every clogged underground drain needs excavation.
A professional drain camera inspection can help identify sediment buildup, tree roots, cracks, broken connections and collapsed pipe inside accessible underground drainage lines.
If the pipe is structurally sound but restricted by buildup, hydro flushing and high-pressure drain cleaning can remove mud, sediment, debris and roots to help restore water flow.
If damaged or collapsed pipe is discovered, we can locate the affected area and recommend an appropriate repair instead of unnecessarily excavating functioning sections.
Find roots, blockages, cracks and collapsed pipe.
Clear mud, sediment, debris, roots and buildup.
The underground drainage system surrounding a foundation may be called a perimeter drain, drain tile or weeping tile system. Its purpose is to collect groundwater around the foundation and carry it away from the building.
When these systems become clogged, damaged or collapsed, water can accumulate around foundation walls and contribute to foundation moisture, leaks and wet basement conditions.
Older properties may contain clay or tile drainage lines that can crack, separate or deteriorate over time. We inspect the existing system before recommending cleaning, localized repair or replacement.
Standing water, soggy lawns and recurring surface flooding can develop when rainwater or groundwater has nowhere to drain.
The right yard drainage solution depends on where the water originates, the property layout and the condition of the existing underground drainage system.
French drains collect and redirect groundwater and surface water away from problem areas, low sections of a yard and foundations.
Explore French Drains →Catch basins collect surface water from yards, driveways and exterior areas. Existing basins may require cleaning or repair.
Catch Basin Installation →Outdoor sump pits can form part of a drainage solution for properties where excess water collects in low areas.
Sump Pump Installation →Hydro flushing can remove sediment, mud, roots and debris from suitable underground yard drainage lines.
Underground Drain Cleaning →Drainage and foundation problems are often connected. When groundwater isn't properly carried away from a building, water can accumulate around foundation walls and contribute to moisture, cracks, leaks and wet basement conditions.
Our specialists evaluate both the visible damage and surrounding drainage conditions to help determine where the water is coming from.
Much of a drainage system disappears underground once a job is complete. Our videos let customers see the actual work involved in inspecting, cleaning, excavating and repairing underground drainage systems.

Answers to common questions about underground drainage systems, drainage problems, repairs and water issues around Vancouver properties.
Property owners are generally responsible for drainage systems located on their private property, while municipal infrastructure is handled by the applicable city. If it is unclear where a problem is located, an inspection can help determine whether the issue appears to be within the property's drainage system or farther downstream.
Many properties do not have an accurate record of older underground drainage lines. When accessible, drain camera inspection and locating equipment can help trace portions of the system and identify the location of problems without excavating the entire yard.
Yes. Older Vancouver properties commonly have aging drainage materials that require extra care during inspection and cleaning. We assess the condition of the pipe before recommending aggressive cleaning, repair or replacement.
Not necessarily. When suitable access points are available, we may be able to inspect underground lines with a drain camera and locating equipment first. Excavation is generally recommended when inspection indicates a damaged, collapsed or inaccessible section that requires repair.
Heavy rainfall can expose drainage problems that are less noticeable during normal weather. Possible causes include restricted underground drainage, inadequate surface drainage, saturated soil, damaged pipes, overflowing catch basins or a drainage system that cannot move water away quickly enough. An inspection is needed to determine the actual cause.
Yes. Roots can enter drainage pipes through cracks, separated joints and deteriorated connections. As roots grow, they can restrict water flow and may contribute to further pipe damage. Whether the line can be cleaned or requires repair depends on its condition.
Age alone does not necessarily mean the entire system needs replacement. If much of the drainage system is still functioning, a localized repair may be possible. When pipes are extensively deteriorated, collapsed or repeatedly failing, replacement may be the more practical long-term solution.
Try to identify where the water is appearing and avoid disturbing the area unnecessarily. Water around a foundation can have several causes, including drainage, grading, waterproofing or foundation problems. Having the property inspected helps determine the source before choosing a repair.
