Water Supply, Drainage & Stormwater Systems in the Lower Mainland
In the rain-soaked Lower Mainland, water management is everything. TDS Civil designs and installs drainage and stormwater systems that perform.
What does water supply, drainage & stormwater systems involve?
Water Supply, Drainage & Stormwater Systems from TDS Civil covers driveway drainage, yard & lawn drainage, french drains, perimeter / weeping tile drains and more for commercial, municipal, strata and residential clients across Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley.

Failed drainage destroys foundations, parking lots and landscapes. TDS Civil installs complete water management systems — drywells, swales, foundation drains, catch basins and collection networks — engineered for the Fraser Valley’s heavy seasonal rainfall and high water tables. We work on new construction and retrofit failing systems on existing strata, commercial and residential properties.
For larger developments we build storm retention tanks and ponds, manage stormwater and sewer system installations, and maintain existing infrastructure with irrigation clean-outs and retention pond cleaning. Every system is built to municipal standards in Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford and across Metro Vancouver.
For homeowners we solve the everyday problems too: driveway drainage that stops water pooling at garages and entries, yard and lawn drainage that dries out soggy ground, French drains and perimeter weeping tile that keep water away from foundations, and channel drains and catch basins that move surface water where it belongs.

How Does Our Drainage & Stormwater Process Work?
Every water supply, drainage & stormwater systems project we take on follows the same disciplined process we have refined since 2010. It starts with a free on-site assessment, where we review access, soil and ground conditions before issuing a clear written quote — so you know the full scope and cost before any work begins.
Once approved, our experienced operators mobilise with our own modern, well-maintained fleet, so you are never left waiting on subcontractors. We sequence driveway drainage, yard & lawn drainage, french drains and the remaining works to municipal engineering and WorkSafeBC safety standards, coordinating permits and inspections wherever they are required. Because TDS Civil self-performs the full range of drainage & stormwater in-house, you deal with one accountable team from the first cut through to final cleanup and handover.
Drainage & Stormwater costs vary with project size, ground conditions and site access, so we never quote blind. Request a free, no-obligation estimate and we respond within one business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you fix driveway, yard and lawn drainage problems?
Yes. We install driveway and channel drains to stop water pooling at garages and entries, regrade and add French drains for soggy yards and lawns, and install perimeter weeping tile to protect foundations. After a quick site visit we recommend the most cost-effective fix and provide a written quote.
How do I know if my foundation drainage has failed?
Warning signs include damp basement walls, pooling water near the foundation, efflorescence on concrete and musty smells. We perform camera inspections and excavate test pits to confirm drain tile condition before recommending repair or replacement.
What is a drywell and is it right for my Langley property?
A drywell is an underground structure that collects roof and surface runoff and disperses it into surrounding soil. It’s an effective solution where storm sewer connection isn’t practical — common on rural Langley and Abbotsford acreages. We assess soil percolation to size it correctly.
Do you install catch basins and connect to municipal storm systems?
Yes. We install catch basins, lawn basins and collection piping, and complete municipal storm sewer connections to City of Langley, Township of Langley, Surrey and other Lower Mainland standards.
Do you clean and maintain storm retention ponds?
We provide retention pond cleaning, sediment removal and outfall maintenance for strata and commercial properties — including environmentally sensitive pond work handled through our environmental services division.
Can you fix a flooded parking lot or yard?
Yes — we diagnose grading and drainage failures and fix them with regrading, swales, catch basins and new drainage lines, restoring proper flow and protecting your asphalt and landscaping.
