Inspection & Assessment
in Tsawwassen, BC

Tsawwassen occupies the Tsawwassen Peninsula at the southwestern corner of the Lower Mainland, with residential development on the upland portion of the peninsula and the BC Ferries terminal on the causeway to the south. The sandy soils of the peninsula drain more freely than the clay-heavy lowlands of Ladner and North Delta, which gives Tsawwassen homes better natural drainage than most of the Delta municipality.

Most homeowners never see what is happening in their crawlspace. It is the part of the house that is easiest to ignore — until something goes wrong. A professional inspection gives you an accurate, documented picture of your crawlspace's current condition before small, addressable issues become large, expensive ones. Our inspections are not cursory walkthroughs; they are systematic evaluations of every component of the subfloor environment, conducted by technicians who know what to look for and can explain what they find.

Structural assessment is a particularly important component in older Lower Mainland housing stock. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often used dimensioned lumber that has since been regraded downward by modern standards, and original pier heights and spacings that were adequate for the original floor load may be marginal after decades of deflection. We look for center beams that have settled below their design elevation, posts sitting directly on soil (rather than on concrete footings), and joists that show signs of notching or damage from trades work over the years.
