Water damage in Mukilteo
Mukilteo sits north of Edmonds on the shoreline, around the ferry landing to Whidbey Island and up the hill toward Harbour Pointe. Much of the city is built on slopes above the water, and the bluffs along the railroad tracks are known for slides after long stretches of rain.
That same soil and slope shows up inside houses. During wet winters, groundwater moves downhill and can push into daylight basements and crawl spaces on the downhill side of a home. Downspouts and drains that empty into the slope instead of a proper line make it worse.
Harbour Pointe and the newer neighborhoods to the south have more houses from the 1980s and 1990s, with finished lower levels, upstairs laundry rooms and plastic supply lines. The common calls there are washer hoses, water heaters and supply lines to toilets and sinks.
Wherever it starts, water needs to come out fast. In our cool, damp climate, wet framing and insulation will not dry on their own. The company you reach will walk you through what needs to happen.
