Water Damage Restoration in Lake Forest Park, WA
Ravines, creeks and towering trees, with homes tucked into the slopes above Lake Washington.
Bothell Water Damage connects homeowners with water damage restoration in Lake Forest Park, WA through independent local providers who also serve Kenmore and Bothell. Lake Forest Park was incorporated in 1961 and is known for its tree canopy and its terrain: Lyon Creek and McAleer Creek cut deep ravines down to Lake Washington, and many homes sit on steep, wooded lots along winding roads. The Town Center on Bothell Way NE is the commercial hub. Northshore Fire Department covers the city.
Steep lots and runoff
Homes on ravine slopes receive water from everything uphill. During long storms, runoff and groundwater press against foundations and retaining walls, and lower levels and crawl spaces take on water. Failing footing drains, downspouts that empty onto the slope and driveway drains clogged with leaves all add to the problem. See flooded basement cleanup and crawl space water damage.
Near the creeks
Lyon and McAleer creeks respond fast to heavy rain. Properties close to the creek channels and culverts have dealt with high water in big storms, sometimes with debris carried down from upstream. Homes near the lakeshore have high groundwater through the wet season.
Older homes under big trees
Many Lake Forest Park homes date from the 1940s through the 1970s. Original plumbing, roofs under constant needle fall and moss, and side sewers threaded through tree roots are all common sources of damage. See ceiling leaks and sewage backups.
