Moisture damage can lurk unseen

A small damp spot often means the siding is failing, allowing moisture to seep deeper behind the surface here. Our team strips away the compromised material to find the source before it threatens your home’s frame.

If it has been years since the last refresh, fading and cracks can invite rain inside. A new coat on the exterior brightens curb appeal and seals gaps, preventing damp weather from taking hold.

Preventing moisture damage

When water gets into exterior walls, it can cause damage behind the siding and trim. Our team removes the damaged sections, dries everything properly, and installs new moisture-resistant boards that connect to your existing weather barrier.

Every repair ends with primed and painted surfaces that are flush with the surrounding wall—no dips or seams showing through. This stops the damp cycle so your siding and trim stay in good shape. We manage this entire process across Metro Vancouver, from precise drywall in Vancouver to matching the final exterior finish.

Burnaby's rainy conditions

Burnaby experiences heavy winter rain from the North Shore mountains. Many homes built from the 1960s to the 1980s often have exterior sheathing that isn’t designed for that level of moisture. When water saturates a wall, paint can blister and siding may buckle within a season.

Homes near Burnaby Lake and along the slope to Metrotown face extra runoff and morning fog that keeps walls damp longer. We replace the old materials with dense glass-mat panels and vapour-permeable WRBs that handle water much better in most Burnaby houses.

Drywall repair process

When we repair exterior drywall on homes in Burnaby, we cut out the damaged areas and check for hidden rot. We use dense glass-mat gypsum boards, like DensGlass Sheathing, which have a fiberglass face that resists moisture better than regular drywall. These boards are attached to the studs with corrosion-resistant screws, and we stagger the joints to reduce stress points.

We tape and finish the joints with a strong setting-type compound that hardens and resists dampness. After sanding the compound smooth, we apply an acrylic latex exterior primer and two coats of 100% acrylic paint to seal the surface. This process creates a barrier that won’t soften or blister, even in Burnaby’s wet weather.

Managing moisture

A strong building envelope in Burnaby needs a continuous drainage plane behind the siding. When we replace a section of sheathing, we carefully cut back the existing weather-resistant barrier and install a new piece that overlaps the lower layer and goes under the upper layer. This directs any water that gets past the siding outward. We tape all seams with sheathing tape to keep water from getting in.

We also make sure the assembly can dry to the outside. Glass-mat sheathing lets moisture vapor from inside the wall escape instead of condensing inside. With a rainscreen gap between the siding and the weather-resistant barrier, this design stops trapped moisture that could rot the framing during Burnaby’s long rainy seasons.

Drywall permit requirements in Burnaby

For a home in Burnaby, any construction or change to building walls that is regulated by the Building Code, like adding, removing, or changing drywall as part of an exterior renovation, needs a building permit from the City of Burnaby before work starts. Minor non-structural repairs do not need a permit, but larger changes related to exterior remodeling must go through the permit application process and meet Building Code standards.

For residential properties in Burnaby, drywall work that is part of a bigger project, such as changes to exterior walls, additions, or fire repairs, usually needs a building permit. This permit must be applied for through the City’s My Permits Portal. Minor tasks like painting or small non-structural exterior repairs do not require a permit.

Drywall installation and related construction work in Burnaby must follow the city’s noise rules. This work is allowed only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, and between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No work is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Noise levels must also stay within the limits set by the bylaw when measured at certain distances from the source.

Helping local schools with drywall

We recently completed a project for a local school in Burnaby. They had a problem with aging drywall on several exterior walls. This allowed moisture to get behind the surface, which could cause mold and make it harder to heat the building. We worked in phases across multiple buildings. Our team scheduled around their busy calendar to ensure no classes were disrupted. We replaced all the damaged sections and applied a weatherproof finish. This made the exterior tighter and safer, removing drafts and improving comfort.
