Drain Tile in Coquitlam, BC

Drain tile — the perforated pipe buried at the base of your foundation footing — is the single most important defence a Lower Mainland home has against groundwater. Original clay and concrete tile installed before the 1970s eventually collapses, fills with silt, or is choked by roots. These are the four jobs local contractors are called out for most. Hillside lots across Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam need slope drainage, retaining-wall drainage and sump systems to manage water moving downhill toward foundations.
