Professional Crawlspace Care in Crawlspace Specialists Matsqui

Matsqui Prairie is the flat agricultural floodplain west of Abbotsford proper, one of the most productive farming areas in BC and one of the most challenging environments for crawlspace moisture management. The prairie sits essentially at river level, protected from seasonal flooding by the Matsqui dyke system. Within the dyked area, the water table is close to grade through much of the year and can rise to near-surface levels during periods of heavy precipitation or high river levels.

Residential properties in the Matsqui area are predominantly rural and agricultural-residential, with farmhouses and rural homes on large lots. The crawlspace conditions in these properties reflect their location: high water tables, organic-rich soils with slow drainage, and in some cases a history of actual flooding before dyke improvements were made. We approach Matsqui crawlspace projects with the same robust drainage and pumping specifications we use for other low-lying floodplain communities.
