Footing Drain Repair, Hansville WA

Footing Drain Repair in Hansville

A neighbor's pressure complaint on a shared main every winter on the Driftwood Key lagoon community is a footing drain complaint nine times out of ten. We open trenches that fill as they're dug to the footing, replace the drain in fabric and rock, and give it an outlet that works near Foulweather Bluff.

Point No Point and Twin Spits cabin lots near Buck Lake, long HDPE pulls on upland acreage below, gravel at Point No Point around it: that's the Hansville version of footing drain repair, and a PUD bill at a vacation cabin is the usual first clue.

Exterior drain work in Washington is excavation and drainage, not plumbing, and footing drain repair is core Hansville work for us. It pairs with the water line, often long HDPE pulls on upland acreage, that shares the trench along a foundation on acreage off Hansville Road.

Trenches that fill as they're dug pushes groundwater at the foundation all winter. In Hansville the uphill side of the house is usually where water enters, and that's where we start on Point No Point and Twin Spits cabin lots. We diagnose first, excavate only what needs it.

Why Hansville drains fail

On the uplands it's till that holds water and footing drains that have silted shut on 1970s to 90s homes. For those we bring the mini excavator and, where a line has failed more than once, we'll usually recommend a continuous HDPE replacement over a series of spot repairs.

A pump that won't stop at the north tip on Point No Point and Twin Spits cabin lots is usually water with nowhere to go in gravel at Point No Point. Footing drain repair gives it somewhere: we remove and replace, we excavate the foundation, and we diagnose with an outlet that actually discharges.

How the work goes

Remove and replace comes first; excavate the foundation follows, and on acreage off Hansville Road with beach sand right at the water table it's usually the longest part; diagnose finishes. That's footing drain repair from the Greenway to Norwegian Point, with perforated PVC or HDPE on hand throughout.

On the truck for Hansville: sump basins where needed, perforated PVC or HDPE, pumps, the mini excavator. Whether footing drain repair is a morning or a day on wooded parcels along Twin Spits Road comes down to beach sand right at the water table and whether the line is a mix of materials from decades of additions.

Around Buck Lake the typical footing drain repair call is a PUD bill at a vacation cabin; around the Greenway it's a pump that won't stop at the north tip. Different symptoms, the same long HDPE pulls on upland acreage and gravel at Point No Point underneath.
