Keyport, WA

Keyport is a small peninsula village that grew up around the Navy's torpedo station after 1914, and the oldest homes in the village core still carry the water service materials of that era. Galvanized steel from the 1920s through the 1950s, copper after that. Those lines are short because the lots are small, but they are old, and when one lets go it usually fails at a threaded fitting or where the pipe passes through a foundation wall. Because the village sits on a shelf of till and beach deposits with a clay layer under it, the ground along the shoreline stays damp enough that a small leak never looks like a leak.

We locate from the meter to the house with acoustic equipment and we confirm before we dig, which on a tight village lot is the difference between one small pit by the foundation and a torn-up front yard. Most repairs here are hand-dug. Out along Keyport Road, Brownsville Highway and Virginia Point the lots open up, the service runs get long, and the mini excavator comes along.

Keyport is ten minutes from our base in Silverdale. That matters when the problem is an emergency: a line that has blown open and is flooding a crawlspace, or a shared community-system line that has dropped pressure for every house on the street. We answer the phone day and night and we bring pumps, locating gear and excavation equipment on the first trip.

Leak detection in Keyport

Keyport's village lots are small and the lines are old, so leaks are usually at a galvanized thread or a foundation entry within a few feet of the house, and a careful listen along the short run finds them fast. The shoreline clay keeps the ground damp enough that nobody notices a wet spot, so the first sign is pressure or a bill.

Water line repair and replacement in Keyport

Village repairs are hand-dug transitions from galvanized or copper to PEX next to foundations that date to the Navy station's early decades. Out Keyport Road and toward Virginia Point the runs lengthen and the mini excavator comes along.

Exterior drains in Keyport

The peninsula's clay layer and shoreline seeps push groundwater toward the village's older foundations. Footing drains on the oldest homes are often nonexistent or long since crushed. Downspout lines that end at the foundation are the first thing we check.

Excavation in Keyport

Tight village lots, old foundations and short runs mean most Keyport work is hand excavation. We save the machine for the larger parcels on the approaches.
