Restoration help on Mercer Island
Mercer Island - entirely surrounded by Lake Washington - has steep ravines cutting the plateau down to the water. The island's neighborhoods (East Seattle, First Hill, Island Crest, Madrona, McGilvra) sit on glacial till with clay soil that holds water. Lakefront homes face seepage, erosion, and high water table in daylight basements. The 2021 freeze burst pipes in exposed crawl spaces on the island's north and west exposures. Housing is predominantly 1950s-80s ramblers and custom homes on large lots.
What crews get called out on here
- Flood cleanup from lake seepage in lakefront daylight basements, ravine runoff, and burst pipes
- Burst pipe repair in exposed crawl spaces - the island's waterfront exposure is a freeze hotspot
- Mold remediation in chronically damp crawl spaces and behind siding on older homes
- Sewage backup from aging laterals and grinder pump failures (many homes below sewer main)
- Fire & smoke restoration from chimney fires (many original fireplaces) and kitchen fires
