Invictus HYDROVAC
Hydrovac Services in Surrey, BC
High-pressure jetting and vacuum recovery for the large commercial and industrial lots across Newton, Guildford, Cloverdale and City Centre.
Drainage Built for Flat Ground and Heavy Lots
Schedule a property assessment before surface failures become liability issues. Downtown Seattle properties on our preservation program get priority scheduling and proactive service throughout the year.
Surrey's Drainage Conditions
Low gradient and large paved footprints are the two conditions that define drain work in Surrey.
Big-box retail in Guildford and industrial parks through Newton and Port Kells collect acres of runoff into relatively few inlets. On flat ground, sediment settles inside the pipe rather than being carried along, so lines silt up from the invert upward. Rapid development across City Centre and Clayton adds construction silt to the load every season.
Surrey property managers deal with:
- Near-flat pipe runs where sediment settles instead of moving
- Very large paved catchments feeding a small number of inlets
- Construction silt from adjacent development sites
- Trench drains across loading areas that silt from both ends
- Lowland sites where the water table sits close to the surface
Jetting restores a flat line to full diameter, and the vacuum recovers what the water loosens so it does not simply settle further down the run. On large Surrey sites we work the full network in one visit rather than clearing one blockage at a time.
Why Surrey Sites Call Us for Drain Work
Running commercial property services out of Port Coquitlam since 1998, with ISO 9001 and SN 9001 certification no other regional provider holds.
Proven Track Record
Flat drainage is unforgiving. A Surrey line at minimum grade will hold sediment that a steeper Burnaby or North Shore line flushes on its own, which is why the same annual cycle that works elsewhere leaves Surrey lots blocked by November.
Consistent Quality Standards
Recovered water and spoil leave the site in the vacuum tank and go to an authorized receiving facility. Nothing is returned to the storm system, and every job closes with a record of what was serviced and where the material went.
Certified Operations
Invictus is the first and only company in the Pacific Northwest to hold ISO 9001 and SN 9001 certification for property services. Our crews are ASCA and SIMA trained and certified.
Equipment Built for Commercial Systems
High-production hydrovac units with pressure matched to the pipe material and the condition of the structure. Large systems are cleared in a single visit rather than over several return trips.
How Our Hydrovac Service Works
01.
Site Assessment
We walk the property, lift grates, measure sediment depth in every basin and trace the lines between them. You get the condition of the whole system before any work is quoted.
02.
Jetting and Vacuum Recovery
High-pressure water cuts through sediment, sludge and root intrusion while the vacuum unit recovers everything it loosens. Nothing is pushed further down the system to settle somewhere else.
03.
Inspection, Disposal and Report
With the structures empty we record their condition, then the recovered material leaves the site for an authorized disposal facility. You receive a record of what was serviced and where the waste went.
Serving Commercial Properties Across Surrey
We cover drainage across Newton, Port Kells, Bridgeview, Guildford, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, Clayton, City Centre, Whalley and South Surrey.
Crews working Surrey also cover Langley, Delta, White Rock and Abbotsford on the same routes.
What Our Clients Say
Surrey Crew Days Commit Early
Surrey's large sites take longer to work than a small urban lot, so a single property can fill most of a crew day. Fall slots are committed on a first-booked basis from September onward.
Flat ground gives you no warning. By the time water is standing, the line is already full.
ISO-Certified Quality Standards
Invictus is the first and only property services company in the Pacific Northwest to achieve ISO 9001/SN 9001 certification. This internationally recognized quality certification ensures every Portland project receives standardized processes, documented procedures, and verified execution at every stage.
What ISO certification means for your Portland property:
Consistent results across every project
Quality management systems that prevent shortcuts
Regular audits ensure compliance with international standards
Continuous improvement protocols keep us industry-leading
Documented processes protect your investment
When Portland property managers need certainty, not surprises, they choose partners with proven quality systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does our Surrey lot block more often than our Vancouver one?
Gradient. Surrey lines run close to flat, so sediment settles inside the pipe instead of being carried along by the flow. The same annual cycle that holds elsewhere often will not hold here.
Can you work a whole industrial site in one visit?
Yes, and on large Surrey properties that is how we prefer to do it. Clearing the full network at once costs less than three separate call-outs across one wet season.
Will the jetting damage older concrete pipe?
No. Pressure is matched to the pipe material and condition, and the crew inspects before jetting so fragile sections are handled differently.
Do you work around our operating hours?
Yes. Evenings, overnight and weekends are standard for us, which keeps yards, loading docks and truck routes clear during the working day.
