Drain Tile Replacement in Delta — quick answer
Drain Tile Replacement in Delta, BC: When the original tile is clay, concrete, or has failed in multiple locations, replacing the full perimeter is usually cheaper over the life of the house than repeated spot repairs. It is also the opportunity to waterproof the foundation wall while it is exposed. 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.
