Protect Your Home from Water Damage

Understanding Your Home's Drainage Needs

Homes built before 1990 in Edmonton often have weeping tile systems that drain directly into the sanitary sewer line, typically equipped with a backwater valve. Post – 1990 constructions usually feature sump pits designed to collect water from weeping tiles and discharge it away from the foundation.

Regardless of your home’s age, ensuring proper drainage is crucial to prevent water-related issues.

"We met Alex first for an estimate. And we had the opportunity to chat with the office staff a few times. Adam was quick to call us back when we had questions and Alex was always just a text or email away. Ramsey Miles and Evan were at our house for a few days for our repairs. They were friendly and respectful. There are still a few finishing touches required on our repairs weather/seasonal dependant, but we are very happy we called Shield to help us. They worked with us every step of the way during a very stressful time. We highly recommend them!"

“The Anton crew members did a great job installing 2 new window wells in my house. Their work was awesome. They waterproofed the walls and replaced the weeping tiles with new ones. They did a really great job of putting the window wells in. They did an awesome job and left the site amazingly cleaned up. They were very helpful and explained everything to me when I had questions. Thanks again Anton crew members.”

They did a great job and once they finished and cleaned up, you’d never know the front yard had been piled high with land fill. Thanks for the great work.
