What causes water damage around Seattle

In Washington, property owners deal with mild but wet seasons, with some areas prone to heavy storms and runoff. The causes we hear about most are atmospheric river storms and long stretches of heavy rain, roof and window leaks in older housing and slab leaks and corroded plumbing. The wet season usually brings the most leaks and flooding from late fall through early spring.

When water is standing, water extraction and flood cleanup comes first. Failed tanks, hoses and supply lines cause many indoor losses, covered under water heater and appliance leak cleanup.
