Perimeter Drainage & Weeping Tile in British Columbia
Perimeter drainage system (weeping tile) installation and repair to protect BC foundations from groundwater pressure.
Professional Perimeter Drainage & Weeping Tile Across BC
A perimeter drainage system — commonly called weeping tile — is installed at the base of the foundation to collect groundwater and direct it to a sump pit or daylight discharge. Over time, weeping tile systems can become clogged with sediment, root-intruded, or crushed by ground movement. Our service includes assessment of existing systems with CCTV inspection, cleaning and flushing of clogged lines, repair or replacement of damaged sections, and new installation for properties without adequate drainage. We connect the system to a properly sized sump pump with a backup power supply for reliable year-round protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my weeping tile is clogged?
Signs include persistent basement moisture, damp musty odours, sump pump running constantly, and water entry during heavy rain. CCTV inspection confirms the condition of the system.
Can weeping tile be cleaned without excavation?
Yes. In most cases, clogged weeping tile can be cleaned using hydro-jetting from cleanout access points. Only severely damaged sections require excavation.
