Puyallup homes and water damage
South Hill has 1970s–2000s homes on crawlspaces. Many Puyallup valley homes sit in the river floodplain behind levees, and many homes on South Hill are 1970s–2000s houses on crawlspaces. Long rainy seasons, leaking supply lines and poor ventilation lead to mold, soft subfloors and wood rot under the floor. Downtown has older homes with basements and aging plumbing, and the valley floor also sits in the lahar hazard zone below Mount Rainier. Many homes have attics and crawlspaces with exposed ductwork and plumbing, where long rainy seasons and poor ventilation lead to mold, and moss on roofs holds moisture against shingles for months at a time.

Puyallup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Puyallup?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Puyallup Development Services.
Do I need flood insurance in Puyallup?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
