Denman Museum Roof Leak and Restoration Response

infrastructure · 2018-09 · Denman Museum

In September 2018, the Denman Museum experienced a roof leak causing water damage to the ceiling and floor. Volunteers responded promptly to mop up water and use dehumidifiers. A restoration company assessed the damage and determined no repairs were needed as the ceiling had dried out.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

• “...before these sun-drenched days of October, you may recall a somewhat soggy September that brought rain-drenching days to the island, and more specifically to our museum building where the roof leaked quite badly... The Belfor Company... determined that the ceiling had in fact dried out now and that at this point it should not need repairing.” — The Islands Grapevine – November 2nd, 2018 (November 2nd, 2018)
