Perimeter Drainage Company Vancouver
What Are Perimeter Drainage? Perimeter drains are located around every property in Greater Vancouver. A commercial property and residential property both have a drainage system. They are located under your property yard and connect to the city drainage line.
Perimeter drains collect rain water around your property so that water does not start to pool in your yard. Rainwater goes through your gutter system and into your perimeter drainage and into the city drainage.
The city is responsible for the drainage outside of your property line but everything within your property line you are responsible for. It is important to have your drainage system check every 2 years with a special camera that is made for drainage systems to make sure everything is running smoothly.
