Good drainage prevents water problems. At Schol’s Concrete, we install systems like trench drains and catch basins to keep water away from your property—protecting your investment from costly damage. Whether you’re dealing with a foundation leak or standing water around your home or manage a commercial property, one thing is certain: water that’s not properly directed will eventually find its way into places it doesn’t belong. And once that happens, the consequences can be serious.
As a contractor who’s been serving the Fraser Valley for years, I’ve seen it all—foundation leaks, basement flooding, sinking walkways, and erosion that can damage driveways and landscaping. That’s why we take drainage services in Chilliwack seriously. It’s not just about managing runoff—it’s about protecting your property, your foundation, and your future.
In our part of British Columbia, rain is a regular part of life. That’s fine—until your yard turns into a pond or your basement starts showing signs of moisture. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, soil erosion, or a foundation leak, these are symptoms of a drainage issue that needs professional attention.
Water problems can take many forms:
Left untreated, these signs can escalate from minor annoyances to major repairs. That’s why a proper drainage plan is essential from the start of any construction or landscaping project.
At Schol’s Concrete, we offer comprehensive drainage services in Chilliwack and surrounding areas, tailored to both residential and commercial properties. We design and install custom drainage systems that direct water away from buildings, walkways, patios, and foundations. Here are a few of the most common systems we install:
Trench drains are linear systems that collect surface water and direct it to a designated outlet. They’re perfect for driveways, patios, and commercial lots where runoff can create slick, hazardous conditions.
A classic solution, French drains use perforated pipes and gravel to collect and redirect subsurface water. They’re ideal for keeping water away from foundation walls or drying out soggy lawns.
Catch basins collect large amounts of water and channel it safely away. They’re great for low-lying areas and help prevent flooding during heavy rains.
Many drainage issues start with poorly managed roof runoff. We connect downspouts to drainage systems that move water well away from your home or business.
We also install large-scale drainage systems for parking lots, storefronts, and municipal projects—ensuring compliance with local codes and long-term water management performance.
A foundation leak doesn’t happen overnight. It’s often the result of poor drainage over months or even years. When soil around a building becomes saturated, the hydrostatic pressure pushes water through cracks or porous concrete walls. Once inside, water can damage insulation, flooring, and even the structural integrity of your foundation.
By installing the right drainage systems early on—or correcting an existing water problem—we prevent this kind of damage before it starts. We also work with homeowners and developers to ensure that new builds are protected with proper grading, backfill, and water redirection systems.
Every property is different. That’s why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach to drainage. Whether it’s a small bungalow in Agassiz or a large commercial build in Chilliwack, we assess the unique conditions of your site before recommending a solution.
Some contractors treat drainage as an afterthought. We treat it as a foundation-level priority—because we’ve seen what happens when it’s ignored. That commitment to quality and durability is what’s made Schol’s Concrete a trusted name in drainage services in Chilliwack.
