Masonry Moisture Surveys in Burnaby

Brick, block and stone facades absorb and trap moisture, particularly on east- and west-facing elevations in Greater Vancouver's climate. Quantitative moisture surveys — using nuclear-density methods, MC sensors and IR — identify saturated assemblies before damage progresses. We deliver these for heritage buildings, mid-rise masonry and institutional facades where understanding water management is a long-term asset issue.

What patio leak typically finds in Burnaby

Window-wall investigations on Metrotown towers, masonry leaks on mid-rise brick buildings.

Burnaby's built environment — concrete high-rises around Metrotown/Brentwood, 1960s–80s single-family residential, light-industrial in Big Bend — shapes how masonry moisture surveys is delivered locally. Burnaby's split personality — rapidly densifying tower districts in Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed alongside long-established residential pockets — means leak detection here ranges from 50-storey concrete inspections to mid-century bungalow plumbing.
