What goes wrong on restaurants
Slow or backing-up floor drains
Grease, food solids and scale build up in kitchen lines and interceptors, then back up through floor drains during the busiest service.
Wet basements and prep areas
Below-grade storage, walk-ins and prep rooms need dry, health-inspection-ready floors and walls year round.
Patios and rear service areas
Poorly drained patios, loading zones and grease bin pads send water straight back at the building.

Frequently asked questions
Can drainage work be done outside service hours?
Yes. Kitchen floor drain, interceptor line and trench drain work is routinely staged overnight or between services so the restaurant does not close.
How often should grease-loaded lines be jetted?
Most Lower Mainland kitchens hold up well on a quarterly hydro jetting schedule; high-volume kitchens often move to monthly interceptor service.
How much does commercial drainage or waterproofing work cost in BC?
Commercial pricing depends on depth, access, length of perimeter and how much of the site has to stay open during the work. Most contractors scope from a camera inspection first, then price by section. Quotes through DRYHOMEBC are free and carry no obligation.
How fast can someone attend an active flood?
Send the request with 'urgent' in the details and we push it to crews with emergency capacity in your city — most respond the same or next business day, and pump-out or temporary bypass work can usually start immediately.
