Sump Pump Installation
in Fort Langley, BC
Fort Langley is a designated heritage community on the south bank of the Fraser River, known for the Hudson's Bay Company fort and the historic village that grew up around it. The residential streets near the historic core contain some of the oldest surviving homes in the Fraser Valley, with some properties dating back to the late 19th century. These homes are of significant heritage value, and any crawlspace work in this community must be approached with an understanding of the historic building methods and materials involved.
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 Fort Langley — What We See Here
The Fraser River proximity gives Fort Langley a high seasonal water table in the lower-lying areas near the waterfront, while the residential streets on the higher ground above the village are somewhat better drained. Heritage homes near the river have often had repeated moisture issues over their long lives, and the crawlspaces in some of these properties have layers of remediation attempts by previous owners. We bring a careful, systematic approach to understanding what is actually present before designing any new intervention.
