North Bonneville is a town that moved. The original settlement grew up in the 1930s to house the crews building Bonneville Dam, and when the Corps of Engineers needed the site for a second powerhouse, the whole town was rebuilt a mile west on ground above the 100-year floodplain between 1971 and 1978. Almost every house in town dates from that relocation or the decades since, on slab and crawl space, laid out on planned streets with a trail system running through them. About a thousand people live here, 15 miles up the Gorge from Camas.
The town sits in a very wet corner of the county, hemmed in by Hamilton Mountain to the north, and the winter rain and the Gorge wind come together here.
This site connects North Bonneville homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope from what the meter reads.
A 1970s house with a soft spot in the floor and a rising water bill is a leak detection job before anyone opens a wall. A garage line that split in a cold snap is burst pipe water damage cleanup once the plumber has it fixed. Standing water in a family room from a water heater or a washer is water extraction, then drying of the walls it reached.
The Bonneville Lock and Dam, whose first powerhouse and lock were finished in 1938, is the reason the town exists and the reason it moved. Rebuild permits go through Skamania County at the courthouse in Stevenson, not Clark County, and the provider who takes your call works both sides of that line.
