Drainage in Coquitlam, BC

Drainage work moves water away from the building and off the property. On Lower Mainland lots — clay soils in Surrey, delta silt in Richmond and Delta, slopes in Coquitlam and Port Moody — the right system depends entirely on where the water comes from and where it can legally go. 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.
