DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS & FOUNDATION REPAIR

Water is the Kootenays’ greatest force & one of the biggest challenges for local properties. We make sure it’s on the proper path.

WHAT WE DO (DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS)

PROTECTING & PRESERVING YOUR PROPERTY.

Integrated water management

Drainage and water management probably aren’t anyone’s idea of a dream renovation. But unfortunately, a wet basement is not the only thing to worry about when runoff and groundwater are not being managed properly.
Wet soil against the house can cause problems long before water shows up inside, especially on the older wood-frame homes common throughout the Kootenays. Poor grading, failed perimeter drains, high soil levels, and concrete sidewalks sloping toward the house can all trap moisture where it should not be.

Our work combines heavy machinery, skilled labor, drainage planning, and practical knowledge of our local environment and freeze-thaw cycles. The goal is not just to make it look good on day one, but to build something that looks and performs the same for decades.

SPECIALIZED DRAINAGE SERVICES

We correct drainage issues before they become major structural problems.

The goal is simple: move water away from your home, protect the foundation, and prevent a manageable drainage problem from turning into a much larger repair.

Thank you Scoop Excavating for your timely response and confident service yesterday, looking after a tricky removal of a rather large slab of granite against the side of our house. We’ll be calling you again for some drainage work and aggregate materials
