Common Issues in Maple Ridge Homes

  • Maple Ridge is at the eastern edge of Metro Vancouver — material delivery costs from Vancouver suppliers add $500–$2,000 for large orders
  • Hammond and Town Centre older homes (pre-1970) frequently have knob-and-tube wiring and 60A panels
  • Proximity to Fraser River creates elevated groundwater and flood risk in some lower-elevation areas — sump pump and waterproofing essential for basement work in flood-plain-adjacent lots
  • Pre-1980 homes commonly have galvanized supply lines; asbestos testing recommended for pre-1985 floor tile and ceiling texture
