Drain Tile Repair — Lower Mainland BC Contractors

When a repair is enough

One crushed section, a separated joint, a broken tee at a downspout connection, or root intrusion in an otherwise sound line.

What it usually involves

Camera scope to locate the fault, hand or machine excavation to footing depth, new perforated pipe, filter fabric and washed drain rock, then backfill and restoration.

What to ask for

Before-and-after camera footage, the depth the pipe was found at, and whether the rest of the perimeter was scoped before quoting.

How a working drainage system protects a home

Rain runs off the roof, into the leaders, down through drain rock to the perimeter drain, then out to the storm connection or sump — keeping water off the foundation wall.

Drain Tile Repair — quick answer

Spot repairs make sense when a camera inspection shows the failure is limited to one run or one corner of the house. A crew excavates only the affected section, replaces the damaged pipe and drain rock, and re-connects to the existing system.
