This is not something to put off a moment longer, because you need help today! Call a certified company that knows how drain systems work, and who can fix your drainage issues.

Drain Tile Repair Services
You may be wondering what exactly is “drain tile”? Simply put, it is a system that keeps away moisture from your home. Without a proper drain system, water will leak into your home, causing all sorts of problems, such as mold, and eventually, foundation issues. That moisture gets there from all the rain we get in this area. With many older homes, especially ones built before the 1980s, the system was made from concrete or clay.
If you have a home that was built before the mid-1980s, or even if you have a newer home, your drain tile can have issues that require a professional services company. Our team of technicians will come to your home or business, and quickly get to work diagnosing the problem. We have the tools, and the experience to identify drainage issues. Once we do, you will be told up front what the problem is, and what it will cost to repair the problem.
Can drain tile be repaired? The short answer is “yes it can.” However, the cost of repairs can be worth more than replacing the entire system, depending on the extent of the damage. Clay tile pipes are prone to blockage and or total collapse. Since most drainage systems today do not use this type of material, we can repair the system with modern materials, like PVC, they will last for decades to come. Coquitlam Plumbing Pros realize how important your drain tile system is, and we want to make sure it’s done right.
Drain Tile Installation Services
Maybe you have had some “drain tile companies” come out and recommend a new system. The question that should be asked is, “are they licensed plumbers?” If they were not, then you need a plumbing company, such as ours, to give you the entire picture before installing a brand-new drain system. If we determine that your drainage system needs to be replaced, you can rest assured that you will get honest, upfront pricing, and told exactly what needs to be done.
Our company is equipped with the tools to get your old system out of the ground and dispose of all those old components that are no longer working. We use only the most modern of materials, because an important system, such as drain tile, needs to last for many years down the line. In fact, statistics have shown that if you are selling your home, an outdated drain system can significantly lower the asking price. An investment in a new drainage system just makes sense.
When we install a new drainage system, we used gravel beds for supporting the pipes. Our pipes are made of high-grade PVC, and we lay them at an angle away from your home or business. The idea again is to get the water away from the foundation, and into the sewage system. When installed correctly, there is no moisture coming into your home’s basement, and when those heavy BC rains come, you can rest easy knowing you are not going to be dealing with flood conditions in your home. Call us today and let us upgrade your drainage system.
Drain Tile Maintenance Services
If you have installed a drain tile system or bought a new home, your drain tile system probably needs to be looked at. Unfortunately, it is one of those systems that is often overlooked, until something backs up the system. Regular maintenance can help lessen or eliminate problems from ever occurring. That’s where Coquitlam Plumbing Pros can help.
We use advanced, state of the art techniques when performing maintenance on your system. We go into your backyard and make sure that there are no exposed pipes. Our technicians will also come into your basement, inspecting for any signs of moisture, such as mold, or pools of water. While outside the home, we use our equipment for pipe locating, and can easily mark where your perimeter drain lines are located. Preventable maintenance also ensures that the water is flowing freely through the pipes and that there are no areas of blockages.
If you have a retaining wall, we can inspect the structural integrity to make sure that there is no water seepage getting out. Another area that we cover is to provide a rodent guard. Rodents can get into the drainage system and “make themselves at home.” Once they do that, sections of your system will fail. Putting your system onto a regular maintenance plan keeps the backhoe out of your yard, and makes sure the water is being displaced. Call us today to schedule a consultation.
