Stop Drafts and Moisture

A basement suite door that sticks or lets in drafts wastes energy and invites moisture. Our team replaces that worn entrance with a well-fitted exterior door system designed for wet West Coast weather.

We install new doors with high-quality weatherstripping, adjustable thresholds, and strong frames. This creates a smooth-swinging, draft-free entrance that improves curb appeal and keeps your lower level comfortable.

Why It Matters in Mission

Mission gets a lot of rain from fall to spring, and that moisture can harm exterior doors. A poorly sealed basement entrance can swell, rot, or let water in, causing expensive damage.

Homes in Mission often have secondary suites, and the entrance door is the first line of defense. A weather-sealed exterior door stops drafts, keeps out moisture, and protects the surrounding siding and framing.

Weatherproof Door Assembly

In Mission’s wet winters, the door must resist moisture while keeping the inside warm. We use fiberglass doors with a foam core because they won’t swell, warp, or rust like wood or steel. Stainless steel hinges and a multi-point locking system keep the door tight against the weatherstripping as the house settles.

The installation starts with a pressure-treated wood frame anchored to the foundation wall with galvanized fasteners. The door frame is adjusted to be straight and square, then secured with stainless steel screws. Low-expansion foam fills any gaps, and a flexible sealant is applied to handle movement from temperature changes.

The threshold includes a sloped aluminum sill with a rubber gasket and built-in end dams. This design directs rain away from the door, while adjustable risers underneath stop water from backing up against the wall.

Managing Water at the Door

A basement suite door in Mission is an opening that needs to manage water. The main protection is a sloped sill pan that collects moisture and directs it away from the door assembly.

The wall’s drainage layer, usually a house wrap or building paper, overlaps into the sill pan to create a solid barrier. Flashings on the sides and a metal flashing with a drip edge complete the water-shedding system, ensuring that rain does not reach the door frame.

Between the concrete foundation and the wood frame, a foam sill sealer acts as a barrier. This stops moisture from moving from the wet concrete into the door frame, keeping the air seal and fasteners intact over time.

Permit Requirements for Suites

Before starting construction or upgrading a basement suite entrance in the City of Mission, you need a building permit under Building Bylaw 3590-2003. An inspection fee applies if you are bringing an existing unauthorized suite up to code.

Secondary suites must be registered with the City of Mission. They can only exist where there is a principal single-family dwelling. Each suite must have a separate entrance and provide off-street parking according to zoning rules.

The City of Mission’s Secondary Suites Program requires all secondary suites to be registered. If you want to add a new suite or recommission an existing one, you need to register and apply for a building permit to confirm compliance with the Building Code and City bylaws.
