Condo or HOA common area flooding in Enetai, WA

The likely causes here

Start with a break on a private main. Older mains between buildings fail at couplings and splits. Around Perry Avenue and Sheridan Park the housing dates from 1950s-to-1970s ranch and split-level homes, which makes this the likeliest answer to condo or HOA common area flooding.

Then a slab leak in a lower level. A persistently wet hallway or utility room. We've seen it near Sheridan Park more than once, usually on copper under Pine Road driveways.

Finally, an irrigation main running the master meter. A chronically high master bill with no visible water is irrigation more often than people expect. Worth five minutes before anyone digs hardpan on the Perry Avenue plateau.

What to check first

Both are City of Bremerton meters at the street, and both get a traced line and an acoustic pinpoint before any digging.

First steps for condo or HOA common area flooding near Pine Road: tape off the wet area and keep residents clear. Read the master meter overnight when nothing should be running. Locate the master meter valve and any building shutoffs and keys. Then call; the rest is a locate through hardpan on the Perry Avenue plateau, not guesswork.
