Storm Damage Restoration in West Vancouver

The wall cavity is in the loss, not only the lid beside the glass. We open the wet studs, dry the head, and cover the exterior detail when it is safe. Ambleside houses closer to the water get this at older windows that face the weather.

A roof valley in another part of the house stays a second opening. Wind can find both in one night.

Multiple roofs, one storm. We map which plane leaked, because a tarp on the wrong slope does nothing. The indoor bays follow that plane, including a ceiling that is not geometrically under the hole.

Skylights on the same house get a separate look. Flat sections that pond get named as flats, not as the valley, if that is where the water sat.

The lower floor can flood from grade while a skylight leaks upstairs. Same storm, two scopes. We pump the lower level, look at the drain at the uphill wall, and treat the skylight as its own opening with its own wet insulation.

Millwork on that lower level gets the back checked if the water reached it. The roof cover does not dry a cabinet.

The cover buys time. It is not the finished roof. We set it when the wind allows, pull the wet fill from the bay, and leave the indoor dry running. Dundarave low roofs with a shorter attic show the stain faster, and the same split applies: cover now, roofer when the weather lets them build.

If the wind is too much to be on the slope, we say so and we still handle the rooms.
