Water Damage Assessment & Inspection in New Westminster

Queens Park walls are often plaster on wood lath, with fir floors that cup if they stay wet. We scan the plaster and we pin the lath where a crack or a blister allows it. The moisture map says lath or board in plain words. The fir gets its own readings, room by room.

Photos show the meter on the plaster, the floor, and any ceiling that is sagging. A thermal camera helps find a wet bay when the paint has only dulled. Clean supply water in the lath and drain water in that same wall are different findings. We write the one the inlet supports.

Sapperton character houses sometimes have a single floor drain, and that is the low point when an old lateral surcharges. We photograph that drain, the waterline, and the laundry if the standpipe is beside it. One drain is a finding, not a footnote. The category is dirty water when the backup is the inlet.

The meter records how high the water wicked into the plaster and across the slab. The moisture map lists rooms that read high and rooms that did not. If the hill also sent surface water down the stair, that second inlet gets a second note.

Uptown towers move water through concrete and a stack, and the suite below wears the stain. We meter your ceiling in a grid, the wall under it, and the floor if it travelled. If we cannot enter the suite overhead, the moisture map names that suite as the likely source and marks the door unconfirmed.

Photos show the drip, the meter, and the room. The category follows what came through: a supply line, a kitchen drain, or a stack you can smell. Corridor drains get their own lines if we are asked to map them. The page stays with the concrete building you are in.

Glenbrooke sits on the hill, and a hard rain loads the outside stairs and the well the same day. We meter the stair stringers, the uphill wall, and the landing at the bottom. The outside photo shows the grade and where runoff arrives at your foundation. That picture is part of the moisture map.

Surface water picks up soil on the way in, and the category note says so. A thermal camera finds the cold gypsum beside the stair when the paint is still intact. Lower streets toward the river can add groundwater the day after. If your house is on that side, the footing readings are a separate line.
