Hydro flush and Video inspection

December 8, 2022
Drainrock Industries provides me with excellent services. The workers, Justine and Jacob, are very professional, hard working and knowledgeable. During the video inspection, Justine explained to me in details the meaning of the finding. At the end he also gave me the objective functionality assessment of the drain tile system from the house to the city main, and the problematic areas and mentioned the importance of regular maintenance. He showed genuine interest in helping customers, an invaluable attribute from the legacy of this
trustworthy company. Paul.

Perimeter Drainage Replacement

I had 3 different contractors provide an estimate for work before I connected with Drainrock. A hydro-flush revealed crushed and broken drain tiles which meant removal of existing tiles, installing new pipe, gravel, sealing foundation cracks, new sump and connection to the city storm system. The work involved working under a very large deck, removing huge blocks of concrete from existing stairs and removing asphalt , trees and shrubs in cold, wet and muddy conditions.
Everyone that I dealt with was very professional, polite and thorough. Bobs ongoing up-dates and explanations throughout this process did much to allay my anxiety. Not having to worry about future flooding is huge. Drainrock did this on-time and in-budget as per estimate. Great company.

Going through a drain tile replacement can create some very anxious moments, but in this case, the fact you had just purchased the home is unthinkable. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience about our company and crews. They are all hard working and dedicated to solving drainage problems. A sincere thank you from all of us at Drainrock Industries.

Drainage problem

Drainrock was my fourth quote. Bob came to my house and explained what had to be done to solve my water issues. He was very thorough and knowledgeable at what had to be done. He was the only person that suggested to drain trenches to solve the problem properly.
I was pleased with his son and his crew the day they did the job. Clean up was amazing.
I would recommend this company for sure.

Your homes drainage problem is quite unique with a golf course not only backing onto your lot, but also higher in elevation. Water from the golf course saturates the lawn at the back of the property most of the year. We were fortunate to have a nearby catch basin that we could connect a new perforated French drain system into. Assessing the problem area, providing a written solution and working with our customers is the process that have created and follow. We thank you for taking the time to share your experience about Drainrock and more importantly our crew.

Perimeter drainage cleanout

Similar experience to other satisfied customers here, I called Drainrock because I had some water enter my home crawlspace after last year's atmospheric River in BC.
I called them and Bob came out to look at my property and gave me an honest assessment of the problem. We scheduled his crew and when they arrived they were very polite and professional. They flushed the system and located my buried sump, which was clogged with sediment. Like other reviewers, I too had called another local plumbing company and they quoted $40,000 to replace my drainage system based on a cursory site inspection. Glad I called Drainrock as they found the problem and cleaned out the system so it will properly again.

Thank you!!

Unfortunately after the atmospheric river we heard from many customers that other plumbing and drainage companies were providing rough estimates over the phone without going to the site to assess. We have always felt that no matter how busy we are that we take the time to meet the customer, understand their concerns and create a plan to move forward. In most of the cases, a thorough service of hydro flushing and video inspection can remove dirt and debris that prevents water from flowing and solve the problem. All of us at Drainrock thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

crawlspace water ingress

I have had Bob out several times with an ongoing water ingress issue and was very satisfied with his direction of dealing with it (had another company before that I was definitely not happy with) He comes over asses the issue then we discuss a plan to remedy it. His communication skills are excellent and he forwards a quote with exactly the work he is going to perform in writing before it begins, this is an excellent idea as it ensures what it is being done before it begins. This also allows the customer to make an amendment to the work before being performed if needed. Had his son here doing the work and was equally satisfied with him as well. A great family business! So hard to find service like this these days...

Thank you for taking time to share your experience with our company and crew. As with most homes, they can have ongoing water challenges and options can be to replace the perimeter drains at a substantial cost or have a regular maintenance plan. Regular maintenance removes debris and sediment from within the pipe and controls the elevation of the water table while ensuring water collected flows to a municipal connection. At Drainrock, we work to establish a plan based on customers needs while not compromising the quality of our work.

Happy to find this company!

We had perimeter drainage problems for years, and had been searching for a company to help us. Drainrock did some work for a neighbour and we asked them for a quote. Very knowledgeable and knew how to deal with our issues. Crew was efficient and helpful. Discovered we had several blockages which they dealt with. Problem solved. Will have them back in several years to do a follow up. Very happy customer.

All of us at Drainrock thank you for your kind words about our company. Having been in the industry for 30 years, we have worked in many areas around the lower mainland. The street you live on is well known to us for its poor soil conditions which are mainly clay based and heavily laden with iron. We have worked for 4 homeowners on your street and were very familiar with the challenges. Our crew uses specialty equipment to identify the problem, clean the perimeter drains and use our video inspection camera to ensure water flows. Regular maintenance will be required as the iron will be re-appear annually. We appreciate you sharing your experience with others.

Top Quality Service

I called Bob at Drainrock for two issues - a foundation crack with leakage into the basement in 2021. It required digging a trench down to the drain tiles. His communication skills and quality of work are impressive, as was his cleanup.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience about Drainrock and we are happy that it met your expectations. Foundation cracks are common sources of water ingress caused by minor settlement during the life of the home. We believe in a long-term solution with warranty that involves excavation, repair, sealing, and dimple board membrane over the repaired area. All of us at Drainrock thank you for your kind words.

Save money with Drainrock Industries!!!

I'm grateful to Bob, and his son, Justin, of Drainrock for their honesty. This company saved us thousands of dollars and did an excellent job of cleaning out the dirt from our 45-year-old clay tiles and flushed them
Drainrock Industries saved us thousands of dollars. We paid them $1500. to dig up holes at different sites on our perimeter and put down a camera to video what they saw. They gave us a thumb drive of the video, cleaned out the 45-year-old clay tiles and informed us they worked well.
This is in contrast to 2 major plumbing companies in the lower mainland that told us that our drain tiles were broken (they used a camera) and they had to be replaced. The companies gave us quotes of $24,000 and 30,000 and that's not counting the cost of replacing the concrete in our carport and driveway. I am so grateful to this family company that does not take advantage of seniors.

Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with Drainrock Industries. We work hard to ensure that each and every customer are educated about their drainage system before deciding on how to repair or if a replacement is required. In your case, the original clay tile was partially clogged with soil and debris that was hydro jetted from the inside walls of the pipe. Once serviced, we used our video inspection camera to ensure the system was cleaned and water flowed into the sump and onto the municipal storm connection. Justin is not only our service foreman, but also my son which makes your kind comments about him so meaningful. From all of us at Drainrock Industries, we thank you.

Honest and professional

A family-run company that prides itself on honesty and integrity. Bob sincerely cares about solving drainage issues and empathizes with clients under stressful circumstances. He gave us a free overview of what would be involved with our problem and we felt assured that subsequent work would be done after a thorough exploration. His son, Justin and co-worker were prompt and worked diligently, explaining the process and results throughout. Our situation will require further work that we are confident will be done by Drainrock with as little disruption as possible. We have complete trust that the problem will be solved to our satisfaction. I highly recommend this company.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience with us. Working through the drainage exploration process often leads to a smaller scope of work by identifying areas of the existing drainage system that still work and others that require upgrades or repair. Our crew identified a section of drainage across the back of the home that requires excavation at a depth of over 7', which will be addressed in spring/summer during better weather months. Excavations can be dangerous and taking all safety precautions to ensure the safety of our crew is of the utmost importance.

Flooded Crawspace - Atmosphereic River

After a very negative experience with another company, I was referred to Drainrock Industries by a neighbour and was told I would be in very good hands. It was a very positive experience from the first time Bob came to my home until Justin and Austin had completed the job. They had found the sump within 10 minutes, the other company was unable to find it and suggested I hire someone else to find the sump and then call them back at an additional charge. I felt Justin and Austin honestly cared and were eager to find the source of my crawlspace flooding. They were very friendly and professional and did a great job right through to the cleanup. A Great Company! A Positive Experience! Thank you Drainrock Industies!!

During that last heavy rains, now called atmospheric rivers, thousands of homeowners had water ingress issues and turned to different companies to help solve their problems. We heard from many that had negative first experiences with other companies and found Drainrock as a second call. Panic often sets in when you find water in your home and you call the first company you can find, many of which are plumbers. We are a drainage specific company that only solves drainage related problems. We are not going to change a hot water tank, repair a furnace or install a sink. If you have a wet basement, damp crawlspace, musty odor or soggy yard, we have a drainage solution for you. Thank you Carol for taking the time and sharing your experience and thank you Dave for referring us. The referral from good person to good person is how we want to grow our business. Drainrock Industries thank you.
