Vancouver Perimeter Drains

Perimeter Drains Help Protect Against:

• Basement Flooding – Diverts excess water from around your foundation to prevent water ingress and the risk of flooding.
• Foundation Cracks – Alleviates pressure buildup that could otherwise lead to cracks and significant structural damage.
• Mould and Mildew Growth – Regulates moisture levels in your basement, preventing unhealthy mould development and improving indoor air quality.
• Soil Erosion – Mitigates the risk of soil shifting or sinking, which could destabilize your foundation and lead to costly repairs.

It’s crucial to monitor your home’s perimeter drain to ensure it’s functioning properly. Here are some key indicators that may suggest the need for repairs or replacement:

• Water pooling around your foundation – Standing water near your home’s foundation indicates poor drainage and can lead to basement leaks.
• Damp or wet basement – Excess moisture in your basement or noticeable humidity levels may suggest drainage issues that need addressing.
• Foundation cracks – Over time, water pressure can build up, leading to cracks in your foundation that can jeopardize your home’s stability.
• Clogged or sediment-filled drain outlets – Slow draining or visible debris around your drain outlets could indicate blockages or a need for cleaning.

To ensure that your Vancouver property’s drainage system is always functioning at its best, it’s recommended to have it inspected and cleaned every 1 to 2 years. Regular maintenance helps prevent blockages caused by debris, dirt, and invasive tree roots, ensuring long-lasting protection for your home’s foundation.
