Drain Tile Inspection in Port Moody, BC

A camera inspection is the cheapest way to find out what you actually have. It is standard practice before buying an older Lower Mainland home, and before accepting any quote for major drainage work. Steep inlet-side lots in Port Moody push groundwater toward foundations, so slope drainage, sump pumps and waterproofing are frequent fixes.

What the camera shows

Pipe material, silt and sediment levels, root intrusion, offset joints, crushed sections, standing water and slope problems.

Pre-purchase inspections

Ask for a recorded video file and a written summary you can share with your realtor, inspector or insurer.

Typical add-ons

Many contractors flush the line first so the camera can read the pipe, and will locate and mark cleanout positions in the yard.
