Water Damage Restoration in North Vancouver

A daylight basement that took a well needs the pad and the wet batts out, then a long dry on cold concrete. Upper-floor fir in an older house can sometimes be saved if the water never left the basement. Laminate on the basement slab usually cannot. We do not finish the basement again until the uphill wall reads dry.

Wind and heavy rain find skylights and walls of glass. The stain on a vaulted ceiling is the easy part. Insulation above the vault is what gets left behind and smells in July. Restoration includes pulling that insulation and drying the bay. Cedar and worn shingles on exposed streets are the usual hole.

Mid-century houses with vented crawls need air in the cavity after a laundry or a split line. Hallway fans do not count. If the crawl was already a summer mold problem, we will separate 'this leak' from 'this building has been damp for years' so you are not sold a miracle.

Lower Lonsdale restoration needs the source suite and a drying log the strata can read. Concrete corridors stay wet longer than a wood-frame bedroom. We do not close a ceiling because the paint dried. The unit below and the unit above both belong in the photos.
