Storm Damage Restoration in Coquitlam
Storms come off the Coquitlam mountains hard. A rain that a flat city shrugs off is a window-well event on Westwood Plateau.
Burke Mountain and the plateau take fast water at wells, and at valleys that dump onto a lower roof. Maillardville and the lower grid take what the hill sends, later in the same storm, plus older step flashing that opens. Austin Heights and Ranch Park sit between those two, and a given street can be either story.
Wind at a window head on the exposed streets becomes an indoor wall leak that shows at a ceiling corner. We cover, extract, and keep the roof opening separate from the footing.
Westwood well still overflowing into the basement
One cell, one well, a full lower room. If water is still coming over the well, we divert it and pump the basement in the same trip. The well drain gets identified. Swollen floor at that wall comes up so the slab can dry.
Waiting until morning, while the well is still pouring, adds a waterline you did not need. Call while it is entering.
Burke Mountain valley onto a lower roof plane
Hill houses leak where the upper valley dumps and the underlayment was skipped. The stain is not under the hole. We open the wet bays, pull the fill, and cover that plane if the wind allows a crew up there.
We will not put anyone on a roof that is not safe. The indoor water still gets handled. The permanent shingles are a roofer's job when the weather breaks.
Maillardville step flashing on an older central roof
The ceiling bay is the indoor half of a flashing failure. We open it, dry the joists, and cover the step if we can reach it. Lower-grid houses also take footing water after the mountain has been shedding for a day. That footing is not the flashing, and the timing belongs in the note: roof during the storm, seep after.
Ranch Park streets can show either. We write the one we can see, and both if both are wet.
Austin Heights window head driven by plateau wind
Rain at the glass runs inside the wall and exits at a ceiling corner. Opening only the ceiling leaves a wet stud bay above the window. We follow it up, cover the head, and dry the cavity.
A footing seep in the basement of the same house stays a second scope. Same sky, different hole.
