What we see in Port Coquitlam.

Drains that keep backing upWhen a line blocks more than once a year, we put a camera down it. It is usually roots, a sag or a break, and each has a different fix.
Townhouses on shared exterior linesComplexes in Citadel and Riverwood share drains under common property. We sort out which part is yours and which is the strata's.
Low-lying streets near the riversIn heavy rain, storm drains and sumps in the lower parts of town work hard. A sump that has not been cleaned is the first thing to fail.
