Professional Crawlspace Care in Crawlspace Specialists Lougheed

The Lougheed area of Burnaby spans both sides of the Lougheed Highway as it passes through the municipality, with residential neighbourhoods extending north toward Burnaby Lake and south toward the Brentwood area. Burnaby Lake, while now a regional park, influences the hydrology of the surrounding area — the water table in some residential blocks near the lake is higher than would be expected based on topography alone, and seasonal fluctuations correspond with the lake level.

Homes in the Lougheed neighbourhood are primarily from the post-war era through the 1970s, with crawlspace foundations and the moisture management challenges that come with that vintage of construction. We work regularly in this area on encapsulation projects that address both the vapour diffusion from the soil and, in some cases near the lake, the higher water table through sump pump installation.
