Drainage in Port Moody, 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. Steep inlet-side lots in Port Moody push groundwater toward foundations, so slope drainage, sump pumps and waterproofing are frequent fixes.
