What We Look For in Squamish Homes
Squamish sees over 2,000mm of rainfall a year, more than almost anywhere else in the Lower Mainland, which shapes how we approach moisture and drainage on every inspection. Add hillside terrain in Garibaldi Highlands and a riverside setting in Brackendale, and water management is the thread that runs through most Squamish inspections.
High Rainfall ClimateMoisture & Drainage
Squamish's heavy annual rainfall makes exterior moisture management critical. We check roof condition, gutter and downspout function, and foundation drainage closely on every inspection, regardless of neighbourhood.
Hillside PropertiesGaribaldi Highlands
Garibaldi Highlands homes sit on larger, often sloped lots with mountain and valley views. We pay close attention to grading, retaining structures, and foundation drainage on these hillside properties.
Riverside SettingBrackendale
Brackendale sits along the Squamish River with a mix of older and newer construction. We assess moisture conditions and foundation drainage carefully given the riverside setting.
New ConstructionDowntown & Northyards
Downtown Squamish and the Northyards area have seen significant condo and townhome growth in recent years. For strata units, we review accessible common areas like roofs, parking levels, and mechanical rooms alongside the unit itself.
