Water damage restoration — Edmonds, WA
Edmonds runs from the waterfront up into the hills, and where a house sits on that slope has a lot to do with how water reaches it.

The City of Edmonds selected the Perrinville Creek watershed as its priority watershed for a Stormwater Management Action Plan under the state's municipal stormwater permit, and its Storm and Surface Water Comprehensive Plan is explicitly aimed at known flooding problems. Work on that basin has included a flow reduction study and a detention facility design on 74th Avenue W.
Edmonds also formally defines earth subsidence and landslide hazard areas in its development code, with seasonal restrictions on site disturbance in those areas.
For a homeowner that translates into two different problems. On the slopes, water arrives from uphill and enters low — at a footing, a garage, a daylight basement. Nearer the creek basins, it is a question of what the drainage system can carry during a storm.

- Water comes in at the base of a wall during heavy rain.
- That is surface or groundwater rather than plumbing. Drying handles the damage; the recurrence is a drainage question.
- Do you cover the whole city, waterfront to the hills?
- Yes, and the wider area — Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo and Shoreline.
