Drain Tile Repair in Delta, BC

Spot repairs make sense when a camera inspection shows the failure is limited to one run or one corner of the house. A crew excavates only the affected section, replaces the damaged pipe and drain rock, and re-connects to the existing system. 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.

When a repair is enough

One crushed section, a separated joint, a broken tee at a downspout connection, or root intrusion in an otherwise sound line.

What it usually involves

Camera scope to locate the fault, hand or machine excavation to footing depth, new perforated pipe, filter fabric and washed drain rock, then backfill and restoration.

What to ask for

Before-and-after camera footage, the depth the pipe was found at, and whether the rest of the perimeter was scoped before quoting.
