Water damage & mold help in Kent, WA

Kent homes and water damage
Downtown and the valley have mid-century homes and apartments. East Hill and West Hill have mostly 1960s–2000s homes on crawlspaces. Many East Hill and West Hill homes sit on crawlspaces, where long rainy seasons, leaking supply lines and poor ventilation lead to mold and wood rot. The valley floor has many apartments, warehouses and older homes built in the Green River floodplain, protected by levees.
Green River flooding
The valley floor floods when the Green River rises in big storms.
Atmospheric river storms
Days of heavy rain overwhelm gutters and drainage.
Crawlspace moisture
Long rainy seasons keep crawlspaces damp, causing mold and rot.
Windstorms
Winter windstorms bring trees down on roofs.
Apartment leaks
Leaks in multi-unit buildings travel down to units below.
Frozen pipes
Rare but sharp cold snaps freeze pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls.
Roof moss
Moss holds moisture on roofs through the long rainy season and lifts shingles, letting water into attics and ceilings.
