The Drainage & Sump Pump Team Comox Valley Homes & Businesses Trust
Need a perimeter drain, sump pump, or French drain in Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, or Campbell River — and someone who’ll fix the actual cause, not just chase the symptom? That’s where Siegfried Plumbing & Gas comes in. We install, repair, and inspect exterior drainage for homes and businesses right across the Comox Valley — perimeter drains and weeping tile, sump pumps, catch basins, trough drains, and French drains. Owner-operator John Siegfried is a Red Seal certified journeyman plumber and gas fitter with 25+ years in the trade, and he’s hands-on every job. Every system is graded to carry water away from your foundation and installed to BC Plumbing Code. You start with a free estimate and an honest read on what your home actually needs — plus same-day service seven days a week, 8am to 6pm.
When water isn’t carried away from a foundation, it takes the path of least resistance — into the basement, the crawlspace, or under the slab. The right fix always depends on where the water is coming from. It might be a new perimeter drain around the foundation, a sump pump to clear a wet crawlspace, a catch basin for that low spot in the yard, or a camera inspection to pinpoint a blockage before anyone breaks ground. Whatever the job calls for, you get the same licensed plumber start to finish, a system graded and sized to your property, and all work completed to BC Plumbing Code. And before you spend a dollar, you get a straight, honest read on what your home actually needs — so you’re paying to solve the real problem.
Drainage Services
Perimeter & Foundation Drainage
Water belongs away from your foundation, full stop. These are the systems that keep groundwater out of the basement and crawlspace for good.
Perimeter Drain Installation
Installed around your home’s foundation to keep groundwater out of the basement and crawlspace. Trenching, weeping tile, gravel bed, and discharge connection. All work to BC Plumbing Code. Free estimates on every install.
Weeping Tile Drainage
The perforated perimeter pipe that protects your basement and foundation from groundwater. New runs, cleared blockages, or full section replacements. All to BC Plumbing Code.
French Drain Installation
Manages groundwater away from your home — perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench, sized and graded to direct water to a safe discharge. Yard, foundation, and slope drainage applications. All work to BC Plumbing Code.
Sump Pumps & Surface Drainage
Already have water to deal with? These move it out and away — from the crawlspace, the driveway, and the low spots in the yard.
Sump Pump Installation
For basements and crawlspaces. New systems include basin, pump, check valve, discharge line, and float — sized for your home. Pre-install assessment included.
Sump Pump Repair
When your pump runs constantly, won’t turn on, or makes a grinding noise. Most failures are a stuck float, worn impeller, or failed check valve — and most are a same-visit fix.
Catch Basin Installation
For driveways, yards, low spots, and downspout collection. Sized to your home’s water flow, set with proper grade, and tied into your perimeter drainage or storm line. All work to BC Plumbing Code.
Trough Drain Installation
Linear channel drains for driveways, garages, and patios that catch water across a long surface. Stainless or polymer grates, sized to flow, sloped to discharge. Coordinated with your concrete or paver work.
Drainage Repair & Inspection
Groundwater coming in, or a drain that’s quit on you? We find the cause first and fix it right — often before any digging starts.
Perimeter Drain Repair
When groundwater starts coming in. Common fixes: blockages cleared from the weeping tile, damaged sections replaced, discharge lines reconnected. Pre-repair assessment included.
Perimeter Drain Camera Inspection
A video camera run through your weeping tile to check for blockages, collapsed sections, and root intrusion. Identifies the problem before you dig. Pre-repair and pre-purchase inspections.
