Commercial Slab & Under-Floor Leak Detection in Keyport, WA

Commercial Slab & Under-Floor Leak Detection in Keyport, step by step

For marina and waterfront facilities in Keyport the deliverable is floor patched and area reopened, and getting there means we repair or re-route with the system pressurized, open one spot where beach deposits at Virginia Point allows, and trace with the site secured near Keyport Road. Residents and tenants are told what's happening and when.

When a slab line that has failed before at the Navy facility's adjacent properties, the job is the same shape every time: repair or re-route, open one spot, trace. What changes in Keyport is the ground, beach deposits at Virginia Point, and the access across Keyport Road. What doesn't change is that nothing gets dug until it's located.

What's under Keyport's larger sites

Keyport's commercial footprint is small, but the marina, the village's shared systems and the properties along the Keyport Road approach all run on old lines in damp shoreline ground. For commercial slab leak detection that means starting at the master meter, tracing before digging, and expecting a clay layer under the village shelf under marina and waterfront facilities.

The shoreline clay keeps the ground damp enough that nobody notices a wet spot, so the first sign is pressure or a bill.

We've done commercial slab leak detection on community-system properties near Brownsville Highway where the only sign was a water bill that climbs with no exterior, and on marina and waterfront facilities by the marina where a musty smell in a basement or parking had gone on for a season. A clay layer under the village shelf hid both until we open one spot.

One crew, start to finish

On multi-family on the Keyport Road approach near the village core we've done commercial slab leak detection after hours with the site taped and lit, pumps running, and residents told what to expect. Ten minutes up Brownsville Highway, and the report with photos goes to the board or owner the next morning, along with a candid note about the rest of the system under damp shoreline ground on Liberty Bay.
