Waterfront weather, hillside homes
Des Moines stretches along Puget Sound from Zenith and North Hill down to Woodmont and Redondo, with many homes on the slopes above the water. That setting brings its own problems:
- Wind-driven rain. Winter storms off the Sound push rain sideways into siding, windows, decks and roofs, and leaks often show up as stains on ceilings or soft drywall below windows.
- Hillside drainage. On sloped lots, water from uphill flows toward foundations. Clogged footing drains or downspouts lead to wet crawl spaces and basements.
- Windstorms and trees. Falling limbs and trees damage roofs and let water in. We tarp the roof and start drying right away.
- Salt air and age. Older homes and condos near the water can have corroded fittings and aging plumbing that fail without warning.
Whatever the source, the clock starts when the water does: wet materials that aren’t dried within 24–48 hours start to grow mold.

We work with owners, HOA boards and property managers: we find the source, dry every affected unit, document the damage in each one, and provide reports that help sort out which insurance policy covers what.
