Bought 50 years of no cleaning of drain tiles.

This project/problem was completed in July 2016. I delayed my review until now to be sure that the fix was the actual fix. We had flooding happening with heavy rains in one of our in home drains. Carlos was very upfront with us that he was very busy, but wanted to help. He came out on a Sunday to scope out the drains all around the house and walked me through the seen problem areas, and open discussion about what we could not see. In the end he was able to make the time to come and hand dig our one side of the houses draintile to expose the problem and fix it for good. He also went through and fixed historical bad work that was done on the house. I am super happy to report that the fix he did was spot on and under budget. 100% recommend Carlos to anyone that wants the job done efficiently and correctly.

Drain tile fixing

Our drainpipes were clogged (nothing had been done with them for over 50 years) and we were getting some water seeping through a foundation crack. Another business told us all our drain tiles needed replaced and quoted $16,000. I called Carlo from Westside Drainage because of his reviews. He came out and put a camera down and sure enough they were clogged with dirt. But Carlo suggested we dig up the two back corners of the house to see what was going on because he thought the backup may just be at those two points. We did the digging ourselves (to save money), Carlo came out and cleared out the debris from those points and determined everything else was working perfectly. He replaced some of the damaged drain tiles in those corners, we fixed the foundation crack and now we are as good as new. And it cost us approximately $1200. I can't say enough about how much his honestly means to me. He could have recommended full replacement but he is not out to swindle people. I highly recommend his service.

Perimeter drainage repair

Carlo from Westside drainage made an appointment to come out and assess the problem. He was out within the week to start and complete the job. His assessment of the problem was spot on and he came in under the price he had originally quoted.
I would highly recommend him.

Flooding/Drain Tile

Cannot say enough good things about Carlo! He was able to come out on short notice when all of his crews were booked elsewhere. Figured out our flooding problem was result of neighbours broken water main, did work required on our property, checked rest of our drains to make sure they were working, kept in touch with us to finalize work once neighbours finished off remediation work (including checking with their contractors to ensure problem was solved) and arranged sub trade to come and level off/return patio tiles removed during flooding. On time, excellent work & subtrades and cost was well below what everyone said it would cost us! Sorry to say we hope we don't need him again!

Drainage repair

While doing some restoration work on our 56 year old home we thought it would be a good idea to move our sump outside and replace the drain tile due to some recent water back-up issues. After getting a couple of pricey quotes I decided to call Carlo. He said a camera inspection will be the best way to determine our options. Once inspected he found a few minor issues and saved a ton of money by not having to move the sump or replace the drain tile. He even commented that our system quite clean for the age. A while later our neighbour had a water leak so I recommended Carlo. He came quickly and, yet again, saved $$ by providing honest advice on what needed to be done. A huge thank you to Carlo for his honesty and efficiency. I am confident our home will be dry for many years to come.

Drain Tile and Drainage Flush and Repair

Carlo was a pleasure to deal with, he took the time to walk me through the his work and to explain in full detail how best to maintain the drain tile in the future. He also advised on some remedies I could achieve myself in order to have the best functioning drain system possible while alleviating pre-existing issues.
Would recommend him to friends and family.
I asked a lot of questions and he took the time to answer all of them. Thanks Carlo!

Renew Drainage flow

Owner Carlo is an exceptional man. Like a surgeon he solved our wet basement by using his amazing camera. He quickly zeroed in on the exact problem, using the latest techniques he had everything cleaned out and flowing in three days. I had quotes up to 20 times the amount he charged us. He is personable, knowledgeable, and honest to the nth degree. He kept me informed about every step of the repair to our 50 year old home drainage. He charged only 2/3 of his quote. I highly recommend him, If you have a drainage problem, be sure to call Westside Drainage Ltd.

Drain Tile Inspection/Cleaning

We were doing some work on our basement and found that we may have had a leak. Carlo from Westside Drainage was very knowledgeable and with his camera took me through the inspection and identified the blockages in the tile fairly quickly. We booked date to clean the tile a week later and then the job was done in two days. Carlo's team was so efficient they finished early and he gave us a break on the price. Overall very professional and a great company to work with.
