Water Damage Restoration in Battle Ground, WA

Battle Ground took its name from an 1855 standoff between a company from Vancouver Barracks and a band of Klickitat people, and it did not incorporate until 1951. It stayed a farm town of under 3,000 people through 1980, then more than doubled in the 1990s and doubled again in the 2000s to about 20,700 by 2020. That means most of the housing is 1990s to 2010s subdivision stock on the flat prairie north of Salmon Creek, slab and crawl space both, with a small core of older houses around Main Street.

The prairie holds water. Clay soil under the subdivisions drains slowly, and by January the yards are ponds and the crawl spaces are damp.

This site connects Battle Ground homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and writes the scope from what the meter says.

Battle Ground water damage in a 1990s subdivision

A two-story off SW 20th with water under the floor after a month of rain is a crawl space water extraction job, and the crew will look for the downspout draining at the foundation. A washer hose that failed on the second floor and came through the ceiling is water extraction upstairs and drying of the ceiling below. When an ice storm splits a line in the garage, as the January 2024 one did across the county, burst pipe water damage cleanup starts once the water is off.

City permits on the prairie, and the lake in the old crater

Rebuild permits inside the city go through the City of Battle Ground, and the acreage just outside the limits uses Clark County's desk. Battle Ground Lake State Park sits a few miles northeast in a spring-fed lake in an old volcanic crater, one more piece of the same lava field that built Prune Hill down in Camas.
