What we look at
- Where water shows up and when — Vancouver's rain runs fall through spring
- Foundation walls and footings for seepage and cracks
- Gutters, downspouts and grading on all sides
- Low points in the crawl space
- Existing sumps or drains and whether they work
Putting the plan together
Most plans combine interior drainage, a sump where needed, targeted foundation repairs and outside recommendations — followed by a vapor barrier or encapsulation.
What affects waterproofing cost in Vancouver
- Number and location of entry points
- Interior drainage length
- Sump need and discharge route
- Foundation repairs
- Barrier replacement or encapsulation afterward
Questions to ask
Where is the water coming from, and how do you know? What will the system do, and what won't it do? What outside changes would help? If there's a pump, what's the backup plan? A contractor who can answer those clearly has looked at your crawl space, not just sold you a package.
Questions from Vancouver homeowners
Do I need waterproofing if water only appears after big storms?
Storm water under the house is worth handling. We'll find where it gets in and recommend the right fix, from outside grading and downspout work to a full system.
Can you fix my existing sump that isn't keeping up?
Yes, we can evaluate and replace it.
Is waterproofing different for older Vancouver homes?
Older foundations may have more cracks and no existing drainage, so there's often more to address.
