Water Damage Restoration in Hazel Dell, WA

Hazel Dell was named by Sarah Anderson for a stand of filberts on her family's land near 78th Street and Highway 99, and it became one of the first suburbs to build out north of Vancouver after the Second World War. About 23,500 people live here now, in an unincorporated strip along Highway 99 and I-5 between Burnt Bridge Creek on the south and Salmon Creek on the north. The housing is 1940s and 1950s ranches and cottages on the older streets, 1960s and 1970s split-levels, and apartments and small subdivisions from the decades since, with a commercial strip on 99 that has held a parade every May since 1964.

Seventy-year-old houses on crawl spaces, with the original galvanized lines in many of them, are the Hazel Dell water story.

This site connects Hazel Dell homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. In these older houses the provider pulls the crawl space hatch before writing a scope.

Hazel Dell water damage in a postwar ranch

A 1950s ranch with water under the floor is a crawl space water extraction job, and the crew will say whether a pipe or the ground put it there. A galvanized line that has been dripping under the floor for months, showing up only as a damp smell and a higher bill, is a leak detection call. The original oak floor that cupped over that wet crawl space is hardwood floor drying work, and those floors dry well from below.

Between two creeks, outside the city, on county permits

Hazel Dell sits between Burnt Bridge Creek and Salmon Creek and drains to both, and the low streets near either one feel it in a wet winter. It is unincorporated, so rebuild permits go through Clark County Community Development, and water service is Clark Public Utilities on most streets. The About page explains how to check a contractor's registration before the rebuild starts.
