Crawl Space Water Damage in Mission, BC
Mission crawls sit on the flats and in Hatzic. The escarpment is a lower room more often than a hatch. Silverdale is a long rural crawl closer to Aldergrove than to downtown.
River water and a plumbing leak both reach these hatches. We separate them. An escarpment foundation leak into a room is not this page.
Hatzic and the flats
Pump, pull wet insulation, dry the joists. If the river came through a vent or up from the soil, we say so. If a pipe is split, we say that and stop drying until it is isolated.
Silverdale runs
Long hatches. We map the wet section. A pump-house line is shut off. The far end stays insulated if it is dry.
Escarpment exceptions
An addition crawl on the hill gets dried. The buried basement next to it is a room, and it is a different scope if that wall is the wet one.
How this shows up in Mission

Questions from this area
Crawl Space Flooding in Mission: common questions
The lake is high and the hatch is wet. Is it a flood claim?
Often the wording depends on how the water entered. We describe soil, vent, or a pipe. The insurer applies the form.
Our escarpment house has a musty lower room. Is that a crawl?
Usually a basement wall. We will check for a hatch and switch if the room is the wet part.
Do downtown Mission houses have crawls?
Some older ones do. Apartments do not.
