Crawl Space Water Damage in Willoughby, BC
Willoughby townhouses almost never have a crawl. Water there is a ceiling or a garage. Detached houses on the edge of the neighbourhood sometimes have a short crawl under the main floor.
We only run this scope when we can open a hatch. A garage slab is not a crawl space.
Detached-house hatches
A line leak or rain at the rim wets the batts. We pull the wet ones and dry the joists. The main floor is metered. These crawls are new wood, not a Fort Langley cellar.
Townhouses mislabeled
If the bottom of the unit is a garage, we stop and switch to the ceiling or the slab. Setting crawl equipment in a garage does not dry a party wall.
Creek-side grade
A few houses take water at the hatch when the creek is up. That is groundwater or overland water into the crawl. It is not a stack toilet.

Questions from this area
Crawl Space Flooding in Willoughby: common questions
Our townhouse has a garage. Is the garage a crawl?
No. It is a slab. If the ceiling or the party wall is wet, that is the job.
The detached house is five years old. Can the crawl already be wet?
Yes. A fitting or a rim leak does not wait for the house to age.
Will you add a barrier under a new house?
After the wood is dry, if the old one is soaked or missing. Not on day one over wet joists.
