Drainage in Surrey, 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. Surrey's clay-heavy soils drain slowly, so yard grading corrections, storm drainage and perimeter drain tile work are the go-to fixes from Newton through Cloverdale and South Surrey.
