About Us
Sensible repairs was established after a long and varied career in the building and construction industry. Having been first a concrete placer and finisher in the 1980s, it gave me some insight into building construction from the concrete foundations, drainage and framing aspects of buildings. In 1991 I accepted a position as foreman at a roofing and waterproofing company based in Port Coquiltam. Living in the temperate rain forest of the Canadian west coast, it made leak chasing and repairs of water ingress in the lower mainland's many leaky condos a company mainstay. I remained with that company for 10 years before I decided to start my own waterproofing and repair business.
In 1998 when the Barrett Commission Report On Leaky Condos was released https://ubcm.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=209 The recommendations it put forward was a great improvement in the way buildings were to be built here in our unique climate. The days of shady construction practices and non accountability were soon to be a thing of the past.
Some of the major changes put forward because of the Barrett Report was the mandatory use of rainscreen wall construction, proper flashings installations, and proper waterproofing techniques associated with window installations.
Because of these new construction recommendations and bylaws that were being implemented in 1998, I chose to go back to school (BCIT). This ensured that I was familiar with the proper techniques and components assembly of the new recommended construction practices. In the summer of 1999 I became a graduate Building Envelope Performance Technologist (BCIT SN A00189268)
Over the last two decades, I have had the opportunity to work with many of the property and stata management companies in the Lower Mainland. Our services have resulted in many well established relationships with engineering firms, construction companies and builders who can count on us to get the job done properly.
