Do you think you need drainage repair in Vancouver? This is not something you should take lightly. It is very important to stay on top of this part of home maintenance. Poor drainage can lead to plenty of other problems, not the least of which is damage to the foundation of your house. If you have never inspected your drainage system for possible problems or if you think you see signs that mean you need drainage repairs, make an appointment with professionals to come and do drainage repair in Vancouver. Here are some signs that might mean you need to call someone.
See if you can find out what kind of drainage pipes or tiles were used to install your drainage system. There are two kinds of drainage pipes that have been frequently giving people trouble in the lower mainland. One is called Big-O Drainage. This was popular in the 80s and 90s because it was cheap and flexible. The problem is, it was very thin and therefore it was very susceptible to root infiltration. Root infiltration is the cause of plenty of drainage problems. If your home was built in the 80s and 90s, see if it used Big-O Drainage. The other drainage system material that has been giving people trouble is clay pipes. These seemed more durable than the Big-O Drainage, but the clay becomes brittle over time. This can lead to clogging, and clogging leads to drainage problems.
Of course, there are other reasons that you might need to call someone for drainage repair. Some signs that your house may be in trouble include things like a wet lawn or basement, or clogged rain leaders. If any of these signs sound familiar you might want to call someone to come and do an inspection. This way you can find the cause of the problem before it causes real damage. The way the professionals do this is by doing a video inspection of your system. This helps them locate the exact cause of the problem and then they can get to work fixing it.
