Here are 3 signs your perimeter drain (weeping tile) may be failing:

1️⃣ Water seeping through the foundation walls after heavy rain
2️⃣ Musty smell or visible mould near the base of interior walls
3️⃣ Soggy ground or pooling water along your home's foundation

Victoria's clay-heavy soils put extra pressure on perimeter drain systems, especially in homes built before 1980.

🏡 Catching the problem early protects your foundation and your property value.

🪨 Most people have never heard of a stone slinger. Once they see one work, they never forget it.

A conventional dump truck drops aggregate in one spot, then someone manually moves it. Our slinger truck launches material up to 30 metres away with pinpoint accuracy: into a trench, along a perimeter drain line, behind a retaining wall, or into a tight backyard access that no dump truck could reach.

It's faster, cleaner, and causes far less disruption to your landscaping and property.

🚛 See how it compares. Our blog breaks it down in detail.
