During heavy rain the District of Saanich clears drains, deploys sandbags and runs bypass pumping at sewer lift stations to prevent overflows. Water that overflows a creek can still reach crawl spaces, garages and lower floors on nearby properties, and a sewer backup brings contamination with it.
Once water is inside, speed matters. We extract standing water, pull wet insulation and flooring that cannot be saved, and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers until moisture readings reach target. Sandbags and grading outside help, but they do not replace drying what has already come in.
How We Handle Losses in Saanich
Saanich properties along creeks and drainage courses can take on water in a heavy rain, and long wet winters keep crawl spaces and wall cavities damp. Water, sewage and mould are the losses we prepare for here.
Mould usually follows water in Saanich homes. A basement or crawl space that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a long wet winter can grow mould within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odour in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Saanich usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after windstorms, falling trees, ice storms, and wind-driven rain from atmospheric rivers. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
