What goes wrong on commercial buildings
Water in lower levels and elevator pits
Hydrostatic pressure against below-grade walls and pit slabs is the most common commercial call in BC, usually traced back to a silted perimeter drain or a failed pit pump.
Storm connections at capacity
Large roof areas, parking surfaces and added hardscape overload storm laterals installed for a smaller original footprint.
Working around tenants
Commercial work is planned around business hours, parking access, fire lanes and traffic management — ask every bidder how they will stage the site.

Commercial perimeter systems run deeper and longer than residential drain tile, and are usually scoped section by section from cleanouts so the building stays open during the work.

Below-grade commercial walls are commonly treated with exterior membrane where excavation is possible, and with injection plus interior drainage where the wall is against a property line.
Drainage for commercial buildings
Site drainage on commercial property covers catch basins, trench drains, storm laterals, oil-water interceptors and detention systems, not just the building perimeter.
