Why commercial 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.
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.
