Homes in the Comox Valley take a beating from our West Coast rain. When water builds up around a foundation, it eventually finds its way in—causing damp basements, musty smells, cracks, and even mold. A properly installed perimeter drain keeps water moving away from your home before it becomes a problem, giving you a dry, healthy space all year long.

If you’ve noticed things like a damp smell, moisture on the walls, cracks in the concrete, or water pooling around the house after heavy rain, it’s a sign your drainage system may not be keeping up with our local weather. These issues tend to get worse quickly in the Comox Valley’s wet climate, especially in areas with clay soil or older homes without modern drainage.

A perimeter drain is a simple, long-lasting way to protect your foundation. It keeps groundwater from building up, helps prevent leaks and mold, and saves homeowners from major repair bills down the road. Whether your basement is finished or not, good drainage is one of the best investments you can make for a home here.

We work throughout Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, and the surrounding area, and our systems are designed specifically for Vancouver Island’s rain and soil conditions. The process is straightforward: we take a look, show you what’s happening around your foundation, and walk you through the options—no pressure, no surprises.

If you’d like a clear answer on whether a perimeter drain would help your home, we offer free assessments right here in the Comox Valley.
