We know the ground in Chilliwack

Chilliwack sits on the Fraser River floodplain: deep, soft alluvial silts and sands over the valley floor, a high and seasonally-variable water table, and pockets of peat and organic soils near Sumas and the sloughs. Foundation and environmental work here lives or dies on getting clean, continuous samples through soft ground and reading groundwater accurately.

We're based right here on Perth Ave, so a Chilliwack job is a same-town mobilization — the owners are on your site, not a crew from two hours away. We know which parts of the valley floor turn to soup after a wet week and which uplands off Promontory and Ryder Lake sit on firm glacial till.
