A typical client story in Victoria BC
Heavy rain in Victoria is nothing unusual. But for Gordon Duncan, the huge pools of water that repeatedly gathered in his driveway was. It was frustrating for him because he religiously followed the advice of his neighbour and had his perimeter drains roto-rooted regularly. But it still took days for the water to drain. That’s because Gordon couldn’t see that his concrete drain tile was starting to deteriorate underground — pipes were cracked, tree roots were intruding, and whole sections were starting to sag and separate. Which meant the drain cleaning Gordon did was merely a bandaid. And after one particularly long bout of September rain, those slow draining pools eventually turned into a full scale flood. And that’s when Gordon called us.
Drain cameras remove guesswork
By threading a small video camera into the perimeter drain pipe and watching on a TV monitor, a trained drainage technician can pinpoint the source of a drain tile problem. The video will show the precise location of the backup and what is causing it (you can even watch). But diagnosing a drain blockage is just one benefit of a drain camera inspection.
Hire a Victoria drain tile specialist
We’ve all heard the horror stories of people buying homes with water leakage problems and subsequently being out of pocket for huge repair bills (did you also know your home insurance frequently excludes this kind of water damage?) Most home inspectors (and plumbers) will miss these kind of problems because they don’t have the specialized expertise to properly diagnose underground foundation and drainage problems. A drain camera inspection is the best way to help you determine the status of a home’s underground drainage system. A trained eye will know the signs of past water damage and the most likely source of future basement flooding or moisture issues common in both older and newer homes. That’s why you should insist on an inspection from a drain tile specialist as part of your home inspection. It’s the best way to ensure peace of mind before you buy.
