Water and Flood Damage Reconstruction for Homes, Strata, and Commercial Spaces

The dry-out crew stops when the moisture readings do. GP Contracting is the licensed BC general contractor that rebuilds what the water actually damaged: structure, subfloors, envelope, systems, and finishes, across the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island.

Dry Is Not the Same as Rebuilt
When water gets into a building, the visible loss is usually the smallest part. Extraction and drying matter, and the remediation companies that do them are the right first call. But a dried building is not a repaired one, and handing you back a dry shell is where most restoration outfits stop.
Reconstruction is general contractor work. Assessing whether saturated framing still carries load, deciding what the envelope needs so the water does not come back, pulling permits, and rebuilding interiors to the standard they were built to: that is the part GP does, and we have done it since the company was founded. Every rebuild carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.
Where the Water Came From Changes How We Rebuild
Every water loss has a source, and the source decides the scope. These are the five we rebuild most.

    Burst and frozen pipes

    Pressurized supply lines can flood a floor in minutes and push water into cavities you cannot see. These losses usually mean framing replacement, subfloor work, and rebuilding finishes across more rooms than the burst itself touched.

    Roof leaks and storm damage

    Coastal BC rain and wind drive water through roofing, flashings, skylights, and window assemblies. The rebuild is as much building envelope work as interior work, and we treat the entry point, not just the stain on the ceiling.

    Appliance and fixture failures

    Dishwashers, water heaters, washing machine hoses, and toilet supply lines. Small sources, big spread: water follows gravity into the levels below, and multi-floor scopes are the norm rather than the exception.

    Sewer backup

    Category three water contaminates everything porous it touches. After specialist decontamination, we handle the strip-out verification and full reconstruction of the affected levels.

    Strata and multi-unit losses

    One failed pipe, four affected units, two insurance policies, and a strata council in the middle. We rebuild the units and the common property while keeping each scope attached to the right policy.

Multi-Unit & Commercial
When Water Crosses Unit Lines
Water losses in strata buildings and commercial spaces are coordination problems as much as construction problems. What belongs to the strata policy versus the owner's, what the landlord covers versus the tenant, which repairs need council approval, and who signs off on common property: we work inside that structure every week, and we keep the paperwork as clean as the rebuild.
For businesses, the schedule is the scope. We phase commercial water rebuilds around operations where the site allows it, because we build offices, retail, and restaurants as a core service and we know what it costs a tenant to stay dark.

Rebuild Scope

What the Reconstruction Actually Covers

Structure and framing

Rotted studs, plates, joists, and headers replaced with new material and engineered connections where loads demand it, verified by inspection before anything closes up.

Residential wood framing under construction with hilltop views through open walls

Subfloors and levelling

Heaved or delaminated sheathing replaced, substrates levelled properly, so the new flooring performs instead of telegraphing the old damage.

Residential construction in progress with open framing and unfinished floor structure

Envelope and moisture protection

Weather barrier, flashing, insulation, and vapour control repaired or upgraded so the assembly sheds water the way it should have in the first place.

Structural building envelope and roofing work on a residential project

Systems and finishes

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC assessed and brought to current code, then drywall, paint, flooring, millwork, and fixtures rebuilt to pre-loss quality or better.

The Claim Side, Handled
Water claims are won or lost on documentation. We photograph and record before demolition, build the line-item scope, and work it through directly with your adjuster and insurer. We coordinate regularly with independent adjusting firms, including Coast Claims, and with all major Canadian insurers, and hidden damage found during strip-out is submitted as a supplement, never absorbed or ignored.
The full claims-funded rebuild process, from first scope review to closed file, is laid out on our insurance restoration overview.

Still Drying Out? This Is the Moment to Plan the Rebuild.

The scope conversations that happen while the fans are still running decide what your claim will pay for. A free scope review with GP, before demolition finishes, means the hidden damage gets counted while it is still visible and the rebuild starts the day the site is ready instead of weeks after.
