Why apartment buildings need this work
Drain tile — the perforated pipe buried at the base of your foundation footing — is the single most important defence a Lower Mainland home has against groundwater. Original clay and concrete tile installed before the 1970s eventually collapses, fills with silt, or is choked by roots. These are the four jobs local contractors are called out for most.
Ground-floor and garden suites
Damp carpets, musty odours and mould complaints from lower units usually follow a failed perimeter drain or grade that slopes toward the building.
Mechanical and storage rooms
Boiler rooms, electrical rooms and locker areas below grade need reliable sump and backflow protection during heavy winter rain.
Tenant notice and disruption
Excavation affects parking, walkways and landscaping — good contractors plan phasing and notice periods with property management up front.
