Drain Tile in Delta, 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. Low-lying Ladner and Tsawwassen properties sit close to the water table, making perimeter drainage, excavation and pump systems essential for dry basements and crawl spaces.
