Drain Tile Cleaning, Installation, and Repairs in Vancouver:

Perimeter drainage is your first line of defense against flooding and water damage.

Metro Vancouver gets a lot of rain each year – about 1.3 metres on average. But without proper drainage, it only takes as little as 3 to 10 centimeters of water before you’re saddled with a repair bill in the five figures.

And even without flooding, unwanted water entering your home can still be very bad news. Mold growth, ruined furniture, structural damage – they all have the potential to take a bite out of both your wealth and your health.

A drain tile system is what prevents that from happening.

Weeping Tile vs French Drain vs Perimeter Drainage: What’s the Difference?

While there are some differences – French drain, for example, often drains directly into the yard – these terms all refer to the same thing: a system of pipes around the foundation of your home that keeps excess water out of your basement and crawlspace.

How Does a Drain Tile System Function?

Buried in soil and gravel around the perimeter of your home’s foundation, a drain tile system is made up of porous plastic or PVC piping.

This piping slopes away from your home, so when groundwater levels rise or there’s heavy precipitation, the excess water is collected by the drain tile system and directed away from the foundation and into a sump pit or your backyard.

Got Questions About Drain Tile Systems?

Get answers to some of the most common questions about drain tile, weeping tile, and perimeter drainage.

How much does drain tile work cost?

There are two main factors: the size of your home and the accessibility of your drain tile system. Bigger homes require more pipe, so installation and replacement costs are higher. Likewise, drain tile systems buried below concrete require more work to be repaired/replaced.

Why is it called drain tile? There’s no tile!

Drain tiles were originally clay pipes used to protect farmland from flooding. The sections of land where the pipes were installed were considered “tiled” because of the clay, and eventually the system simply became known as “drain tile”.

Can a modern drain tile system help me get lower insurance premiums?

Maybe (but probably yes). Having a modern drain tile system means that – in your insurance company’s eyes – you’ve taken steps to lower your risk of claiming flood damage. In turn, there’s a good chance that you’ll be rewarded with a lower premium.
