Water Damage Assessment in Abbotsford, BC
Abbotsford assessments are booked after a heavy rain because three kinds of water show up at once. A ceiling stain, a floor drain, and water at a door on the prairie edge are not one event.
We photograph and meter each path. The insurance word depends on that, and we do not pick the word for you. We describe the path.
If you are still working out how far the water travelled, the Langley restoration specialists meter the Abbotsford house before the saw comes out.
Ceilings in Clearbrook
Attic or suite-above readings tell you if the lid is a roof. A dry attic with a wet lid means the water started in the building, often a suite or a pipe.
Floor drains
If the drain discharged, we say that and we stop calling it a roof. The assessment saves a bad demolition plan.
Prairie doors
Sill readings and photos of the grade. Overland rain is not a burst pipe. A burst pipe in the same week would show a split, and we look for it.

Questions from this area
Water Damage Assessment in Abbotsford: common questions
Will the assessment tell us if it is covered?
No. It tells you where the water came from and what is wet. Coverage is the insurer's decision.
The tenant wants the ceiling opened today. Is that the assessment?
The assessment says whether it should be opened. Opening it is the repair visit, and we can do that next if the reading says to.
Do Auguston houses need a drain check?
Less often. We still look if the lower floor is wet and there is a drain in it.
