Storm Damage Restoration in Pitt Meadows, BC
Pitt Meadows can take a roof leak and a high river in the same week. Storm damage here is the rain that came through a roof, a vent, or a window. River water through the ground is a different path.
We will not title a dyke seep as wind just because the wind was up.
Roofs over short houses
A valley or a vent wets the attic, then the ceiling. We open the ceiling and dry the wood. The crawl is not automatically part of a roof leak.
Rain through crawl vents
Wind pushes rain into the crawl. Batts come out. This is weather from above, and we say so, even if the river is also high.
Windows on slab homes
South Bonson rain at a window wets the vinyl edge. We lift the floor there. No basement stair to send a crew down.
How this shows up in Pitt Meadows
Attic leak, crawl dry
Ceiling opened. Crawl left. River not mentioned.
Vent rain in the crawl during a high river

Questions from this area
Storm Damage in Pitt Meadows: common questions
The river is high and our ceiling is stained. Which is it?
A ceiling stain is almost always the roof. We still glance at the crawl so a second path is not missed.
Can you pump the river out of the crawl and call it storm?
We can pump and dry. We will not label seepage as wind. The path goes in the notes.
Do airport buildings leak in the same wind?
Yes, at roof seams and doors. We dry the bay and photograph the seam. A roofer takes the membrane.
