North Vancouver gets more rain than anywhere else we work, and roofs here are tested constantly. Details that would survive years in Surrey fail faster in Lynn Valley or on the Seymour slopes simply because of volume and duration.
That means the usual suspects show up sooner: saturated valleys, overwhelmed gutters, moss on shaded north slopes, and flashings that were installed to a minimum standard. Our job is to work out which one is actually letting water in.
Steep roofs are the norm here. We plan access and anchoring properly rather than improvising, and we tell you when the safe, correct repair takes longer than you were hoping.
What high-rainfall roofs need checked
- Valley capacity and debris buildup during sustained heavy rain
- Gutter and downspout sizing that keeps up with volume
- Persistent moss on shaded slopes under mountain canopy
- Sidewall and headwall flashings taking constant water
- Attic condensation that looks like a roof leak but is a ventilation problem
- Steep-slope access, anchoring and safe staging on Lynn Valley and Seymour homes
