About
Drainage work built around Richmond homes
Richmond sits low, with a high water table and plenty of older weeping-tile systems. We focus on diagnosing those systems clearly and recommending work that matches what your property actually needs.
What we do
Richmond Perimeter Drainage is a local drainage contractor focused on keeping Richmond basements dry. We've worked on homes throughout Richmond—from older Steveston houses with original clay weeping tile to newer construction dealing with the area's naturally high water table. Our approach is straightforward: assess the problem properly, explain what we find, provide a clear quote, and do the work right. We include landscaping restoration in our quotes because we know no one wants to be left with a torn-up yard after the drainage work is done. If you're dealing with water in your basement, dampness, or musty smells, we can help figure out what's going on and what it will take to fix it.
We do not push a full excavation when a camera inspection, sump upgrade, or surface correction can solve the problem. When a full perimeter drain replacement is the right call, we explain why and what restoration is included.
