Vancouver gets a lot of rain. When the perimeter drain (also called the weeping tile) around your foundation gets clogged, broken, or collapsed, water finds the path of least resistance - usually into your basement, crawlspace, or up against your foundation. Right Choice Plumbing offers perimeter drainage service in Vancouver, North & West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Coquitlam: flushing, camera inspection, spot repair, and full perimeter drain replacement.
Most older Vancouver homes still have the original clay-tile or thin-wall perforated PVC perimeter drains. After a few decades of root intrusion, silt buildup, and ground settlement, they often need to be hydro-jetted clean or, in many cases, fully replaced with modern HDPE perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric and bedded in clean drain rock.
We start every perimeter drainage call with diagnosis - a camera run through the cleanouts where they exist, plus a walk-around to look for surface signs (wet patches in the lawn against the foundation, efflorescence on basement walls, mineral staining at the rim joist). From there, we recommend the right scope: a flush, a spot repair, or a full perimeter drain replacement with new sump and discharge.
