Saturated soil against your exterior walls doesn’t just stay wet; it pushes moisture into the structure long after the rain stops. In this area, where heavy rainfall is routine, that slow creep can soften cladding, lift paint, and compromise visible surfaces.
Waterproofing isn’t only about storm season. Homes here also deal with morning condensation, poor grading, and aging membranes that no longer shed water effectively. Addressing these issues early keeps your home looking sharp and performing well year-round.

Prevent moisture damage
Water running down exterior walls and pooling at the base is more than just a nuisance. It can damage siding, trim, and foundation coatings over time. Our exterior waterproofing stops moisture before it can cause rot, efflorescence, or spalling. We seal the building envelope so rain runs off and drains away, keeping your home’s outer shell safe.
The process starts with a liquid-applied membrane or sheet barrier placed directly over your sheathing, behind the siding. We then add a drainage mat that creates a capillary break, allowing any moisture to drop straight to a perimeter drain. This creates a dry, stable exterior wall assembly that can handle heavy coastal rain without constant upkeep. That’s the core of waterproofing in Vancouver.
Government Road is in Burnaby, where older, mid-century homes face the full force of Pacific storms. The ground here is often dense glacial till that drains slowly, so even a well-built exterior can become saturated. A waterproofing system that works in drier areas won’t be effective when three months of steady rain are common.
Many houses along this road still have original stucco or wood siding that is decades old and not good at shedding water. With mature landscaping holding moisture close to the walls, hidden damage can easily occur. We design the drainage layer and barrier to handle these specific conditions, so your Government Road property stays safe during every storm.
Waterproofing for Government Road
To waterproof homes on Government Road, we use a multi-layer system designed for the area’s wet coastal climate. The foundation has a strong liquid-applied membrane that sticks directly to the home’s outside sheathing. This creates a solid barrier against moisture. On top of this, we add a dimpled drainage mat that helps move water away from the walls.
For siding, we suggest fiber cement or engineered wood products. These materials can handle long periods of rain and resist warping. They come factory-sealed and finished, adding extra protection against the elements in this region. Our skilled teams carefully seal all seams, penetrations, and terminations to make sure the home stays watertight during heavy seasonal rains.
Homes on Government Road deal with moisture and airflow issues because of the wet marine climate. Our waterproofing methods are designed to keep the structure strong and energy-efficient by managing water and vapor flow.
The drainage mat we use creates a barrier that stops moisture from moving into the exterior walls. This, along with the liquid-applied membrane, ensures that any incidental water is moved away from the home’s framing. We also carefully install flashing and water-shedding features around windows, doors, and other openings to direct water away and prevent leaks.
By following building science principles suited for coastal areas, our waterproofing solutions offer lasting protection for homes on Government Road while maintaining energy efficiency and good indoor air quality.
Waterproofing Permit Requirements
For a home in the Government Road neighbourhood, any waterproofing work that involves repairs to the foundation, structural restoration, excavation, or other construction activity regulated by the Building Code usually requires a building permit from the City of Burnaby. Minor, non-structural exterior repairs that do not involve excavation or structural changes may be exempt, but homeowners must get a permit before doing repairs to foundations or other structural elements. They should also treat significant waterproofing, foundation damp-proofing, or drainage-system upgrades as work that requires a permit.
Burnaby’s home improvement permit rules say that any construction project involving excavation, enlargement, alteration, removal, fire repair, or demolition of a building or structure needs a building permit. For homes on Government Road, waterproofing projects that involve digging around foundations, changing exterior walls or foundation systems, or major restoration of water-damaged structural parts are considered alterations or repairs. These must be applied for through the City’s permit system, while minor non-structural exterior waterproofing, like simple sealant application, may not need a permit.
In Burnaby, significant exterior changes to residential buildings, especially those that affect the form and character of the development, can require a Form and Character Development Permit. For properties on Government Road, extensive waterproofing work that changes visible exterior finishes, cladding, or the overall look of the building, such as replacing large areas of exterior wall assemblies or adding new foundation or drainage elements that change the streetscape, may need this development permit in addition to building permits. Minor exterior maintenance and small improvements usually do not.
Imagine a school in Government Road with old buildings. Moisture was leaking through the outside foundation walls during every storm, threatening the structure. We waterproofed the entire perimeter in phases. We worked around their class schedule and kept every entrance safe for students and staff all day. Now, that campus stays dry all year, and their maintenance team no longer worries about the rainy season.
Community support for waterproofing
We often do waterproofing jobs in Government Road. It is a regular part of our work. You can count on us to reach you easily via Highway 1 and Grandview Highway. It is just a short drive past Burnaby Lake, taking about 25 to 35 minutes. This means less drive time and more time for your waterproofing project. We get materials from local hardware stores like Dick’s Lumber & Building Supplies and Windsor Plywood – Burnaby. This helps support the community where we work.
Heavy rain and wet soil on Government Road can harm exterior walls, leading to rot and efflorescence. Our waterproofing uses a liquid-applied membrane and a dimpled drainage mat to keep moisture out and direct water away from the sheathing. Many homes here are built on dense glacial till that drains slowly, and older stucco or wood siding can trap moisture. We create systems that work well in these coastal conditions. Excavation or structural changes usually need a building permit from the City of Burnaby, but minor sealant work may not. Costs differ by system; for instance, a liquid-applied polyurethane membrane with standard drainage costs CAD 120 to 190. We are close to Government Road, so we can begin work quickly.
