What a Hell Pit Is and Why It Matters in Langley
A hell pit is a recessed sub-floor void from original construction plumbing and drainage access. In Langley, this is most likely to be found in Fort Langley — one of BC's oldest settlements, with commercial buildings and residential properties dating from before standard crawl-space construction. The Fort Langley National Historic Site's heritage buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and Fort Langley's oldest residential properties from the 1920s to 1940s, may carry original sub-floor access areas from the original construction era.
Fort Langley's position on the Fraser River means any sub-floor void in the oldest Fort Langley buildings sits in the primary Norway rat corridor — the pest significance of an undiscovered sub-floor void here is particularly high.
