Sump Pump Installation
in Aldergrove, BC
Aldergrove is an agricultural-edge community on the eastern flank of Langley Township, close to the BC-Washington border and the Aldergrove Lake Regional Park. The residential core has a small-town character with housing stock from the 1950s through the 1970s, and the surrounding area transitions quickly to agricultural land and acreage properties. The soils in the Aldergrove area are a mix of silt loam and clay, with drainage characteristics that vary with topography across the community.
Surrey receives roughly 1,500 millimetres of precipitation annually, with the bulk of it arriving between October and March. For homes with crawlspaces, especially those in lower-lying areas of Newton, Bridgeview, or along the Serpentine and Nicomekl river floodplains, that volume of rainfall can overwhelm perimeter drainage and allow water to accumulate beneath the floor. A properly sized and installed sump pump is the most reliable mechanical defense against crawlspace flooding.
The choice of pump matters significantly. Sump pumps are rated by horsepower and gallons-per-hour capacity, and the right specification depends on the size of the drainage catchment area and how quickly water accumulates during peak events. Undersized pumps run continuously during heavy rain events, wear out faster, and may not keep pace with inflow. We size pumps to handle well above the expected worst-case scenario for a given home's drainage conditions.

About Aldergrove — What We See Here
Rural and semi-rural properties around Aldergrove often have crawlspaces that have had minimal professional attention over their lifetimes. Older farmhouses and rural residences in this community may have the most challenging conditions we encounter: very old structural wood, improvised moisture control measures applied over the decades, and rodent or pest damage that has never been properly addressed. We bring the same thoroughness to rural Aldergrove properties as to suburban homes closer to the Langley core.
