What We See in Colwood, And Why Locals Choose Us
Colwood sits in the heart of the West Shore, where a mix of established post-war and mid-century homes meets newer developments such as those around Royal Bay. Many properties feature crawlspaces over soils that stay damp through the long wet season, while attics often lack the continuous ventilation needed to handle the region’s marine humidity and cool overnight temperatures. Proximity to Esquimalt Lagoon and the ocean further increases ambient moisture, driving condensation on cooler wood surfaces and creating the mould patterns we see most often on joists, sheathing, and insulation.
Speedy’s two-coat spray system followed by wet fogging is particularly effective in these homes. The spray penetrates porous wood and eliminates surface colonies; the wet fog coats the tight joints and underside of the roof without the expense and disruption of large-scale material removal. Living spaces receive dry fog that remains safe around furnishings and pets. Because we service Colwood regularly, we recognize the difference between a simple ventilation shortfall in an older bungalow and the tighter-envelope moisture issues that can appear in newer construction, and we back attic and crawlspace remediation with our two-year warranty.
