Video Pipe Inspection
Our video pipe inspection service uses high-resolution fibre optic cameras to identify blockages, root intrusions, and pipe collapses without excavation. This non-invasive method allows real-time visual assessment of drain tile systems, providing precise diagnostics for targeted repairs. Homeowners and buyers benefit from accurate problem identification, preventing unnecessary system replacements and costly future damage.
Drain Tile Repair
We specialize in repairing collapsed, root-damaged, or clogged drain tiles using minimally invasive techniques. Our process begins with a diagnostic inspection to locate issues, followed by targeted repairs that preserve existing systems. This approach saves time and costs compared to full replacements, ensuring long-term functionality for residential properties in Metro Vancouver.
Sump Repair and Maintenance
Our sump repair and maintenance services address malfunctioning sumps that cause basement flooding. We clean, repair, or install sump pumps and pits to ensure proper water diversion. Regular maintenance prevents emergencies, while emergency repairs resolve immediate flooding risks, protecting homes during heavy rainfall seasons.
Foundation Leak Repair
We diagnose and fix foundation leaks caused by drainage system failures. Using video inspections, we identify water entry points and implement repairs to prevent structural damage. Our solutions include sealing cracks, improving exterior drainage, and ensuring sump systems function optimally to protect property integrity.
Drainage System Inspection
Our comprehensive drainage inspections assess entire systems, including downspouts, storm drains, and perimeter tiles. This service is ideal for pre-purchase evaluations or preventative maintenance, identifying hidden issues before they escalate. Reports include actionable recommendations to maintain system efficiency and prevent water damage.

Report
Like so many I was a victim of the enormous amount of rain that fell during October and November that caused water to flood my basement. Wanting to know if this could have been preventable, a family friend referred me to Carlo Bandiera of Westside Drainage. I called Carlo and he asked me some questions and advised me on some temporary measures I could promptly put into effect as we scheduled an appointment. On his visit, Carlo did a thorough job of scoping the drainage areas while explaining to me how the drainage around the perimeter of my house worked. Carlo found a section that had debris in

I called West Side Drainage to scope my perimeter drainage system because I was having trouble identifying a water leak. Carlo was onsite the next morning, and when I explained the problem I was having, Carlo immediately felt the drainage was not the issue, he had another hunch and encouraged me to open the drywall from the inside with his guidance. From there he was able to identify the source of the leak based on clues inside the wall, a huge relief to resolve this mystery. I was only charged for his time which was a lot less than the original scope of work. I highly recommend Carlo based on

Great service from Carlo today inspecting my drainage system. He took the time and patience to explain how the system works, what needs to be fixed and how to go about it in the most cost effective manner. I would not hesitate in referring him to those I know.

They don't use a receptionist but the owner or the manager answers phone calls himself. He is cranky, rude and condescending. He won't let you ask any questions, will make sure you know you are a bother. He will let you know that he is busy and too busy to talk so you. Too busy to do anything for you. Too busy to schedule anything.

We worked with a great team when we bought our house. The realtors, agents and home inspector are some of the most respected in the business... When I asked for a referral for a drain tile scope, the home inspector suggested Carlo without hesitation... Glad I made the call. Carlo is a straight shooter and industry veteran who knows his trade inside out. He worked with amazing care and attention to detail, while explaining the entire process along the way. Job was done within projected budget & timeframe that was quoted. Highly recommend.
