Protecting Your Foundation from Water Damage

Victoria’s clay-heavy soils hold water rather than absorbing it, and when seasonal rains saturate the ground, that water builds up against your foundation until something gives. A perimeter drain (weeping tile) intercepts groundwater at the base of your foundation and redirects it away before it can cause structural damage, crawlspace flooding, or mould. If you’re seeing water stains on your foundation walls, persistent dampness in your crawlspace, or soggy soil along your perimeter after storms, your drainage system needs attention.

Our Red Seal-certified technicians bring over 25 years of drainage experience to every job across Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, and the Gulf Islands. We use NASSCO-certified camera inspections before any digging to confirm exactly what’s failing and where, so we fix the actual problem, not our best guess. From partial repairs to full perimeter drain replacements, every installation is done to BC Building Code.

Absolutely recommend Drew and his crew. Called out this morning with an urgent block and he was able to come by and help out right away. Knows his stuff and definitely taught us a few things we needed to know about our septic system. We'll definitely be calling him again for maintenance and work! Thanks again Drew and Jordan :)

We had a septic emergency and Drew managed to fit us in for an urgent pumpout on the same day while returning from another job, so that we could keep our water running! After that, Drew and his lads carried out some much needed maintenance and repair on the system. The quote was reasonable, and the guys were tidy, prompt and polite. Drew even knocked a chunk off the emergency bill in light of the follow-on maintenance work, which I thought was very gracious. I'll be using them for all our septic needs going forward, which is probably the best recommendation that I can give.

Basement flooded end of February; suspected it was my perimeter drains. After calling a few places who were either a few weeks out or charging an exorbitant amount of money just to assess, I called Drew at Peninsula Sewer. He was a straight shooter and came out on his own time that day and met me to walk around my place. The recommendation was an entire perimeter drain replacement, but was willing to work with me for a partial replacement. Unfortunately, rest of my drains were in terrible shape (broken, missing pieces etc.) so I went with full replacement. Drew's team was unbelievable! They finished in 5 days. Yes, 5 days! His guys worked non-stop and made sure the drains were finished in time before another torrential downpour. Drew was very kind and professional and his communication was excellent and responded quickly to me when I had questions etc. I would highly recommend!

Drew and his team are all fantastic. Easy to communicate with, polite, and fast. We used SPS&D for our septic pump-out at our previous home. We were very happy with how quickly they came to do the work, not only did they do the work fast, they found a problem with a sensor and sent someone back same day to fix it. So when we moved into a new house that needed a whole new septic system and a drain tile, we knew who to call. Drew is personable and generous with his time, he is informative and can think outside the box in complex problem that need solving. Our septic system works perfect and was completed fast. A member of the team (Brian) took a lot of time with us to plan out the location of the field where we would be happy with it, we really appreciated that. Our drain tile was complex, being on a flood plain, Drew made sure to come back and help us when some stuff went haywire with all the rain this year. All in all, the Saanich Peninsula Sewer and Drain team are efficient, responsive, and just generally likeable dudes (which is really nice as a home owner calling for help). Highly recommend.

Drew is such a nice and professional guy. He lent us his pump to help keep water out of our crawl space while we figured out our plan of action. He will be the first one I call on if I ever have issues in the future.
