What to check around a Cassidy home
Check 1
Identify private and public services
Determine whether the property uses municipal storm and sanitary systems, onsite wastewater, a well, ditches, or another private outlet before accepting a drainage or sump proposal.
Check 2
Inspect crawlspaces and low areas
Document exposed soil, vapour barriers, plumbing, vents, wood moisture, standing water, and seasonal changes. Crawlspace humidity, groundwater, and plumbing leaks need different responses.
Check 3
Check slope, coast, and watercourse constraints
Excavation or redirected water near steep slopes, shorelines, streams, or wetlands may need additional review. Confirm the parcel authority and applicable development-permit areas.
Local drainage and permit context
Cassidy is included in the Nanaimo, Oceanside, and Central Island section of this directory. Properties with a Cassidy mailing address may be governed by a municipality, regional district, Islands Trust, First Nation, or another authority depending on the exact parcel. Use the regional source below to identify the correct authority before relying on permit, drainage, sewer, or building guidance.
Municipal guidance changes and a rule for new construction may not apply to a maintenance repair. Confirm the address, scope, permits, and inspections directly with the municipality before work begins.

Repair approaches to compare
The right scope should follow the diagnosed source. Compare proposals by the water path they address, the drainage outlet they rely on, required inspections, restoration exclusions, maintenance, and written warranty terms.
Wet basement repair
A problem-first repair path that starts with the water entry mechanism instead of jumping straight to a single product or method.
Basement waterproofing
A broad term for controlling recurring water intrusion with interior, exterior, or combined drainage and sealing methods.
Foundation crack repair
Focused repair for leaking or stable foundation cracks, with the method chosen according to whether the crack is only leaking or also moving.
Exterior foundation waterproofing
Excavation-based waterproofing that stops water before it reaches the wall by rebuilding the foundation’s outside protection layer.
Interior drainage systems
A perimeter collection system that catches seepage inside the basement and moves it to a sump or discharge point.
Crawlspace encapsulation
A moisture-control approach for crawlspaces that combines sealing, drainage, and humidity management instead of leaving the space open to soil moisture.
