Kitsap County, WA

Kitsap County is a peninsula of roughly four hundred square miles shaped by the last glaciation, which left it with dense till and hardpan on the uplands, sandy outwash in the valleys, clay-rich bluffs along the shorelines, and wet peat in the creek bottoms. That geology is the reason underground water leaks are so hard to find here by eye. Till and clay hold water and surface it far from the break. Outwash drains so well a leak never surfaces at all. Either way, the only reliable way to find a break on a buried pressurized line is to listen for it with acoustic equipment and confirm it with a correlator before anyone digs, and that is what we do on every call.

Water service in the county is a patchwork. The cities of Bremerton, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island run their own utilities. Silverdale Water District, West Sound Utility District and Manchester Water District serve their areas. Kitsap PUD operates dozens of systems from Hansville to Olalla. The Suquamish and Port Gamble S'Klallam tribes run their own. And thousands of homes are on private wells. In every case the utility's responsibility ends at the meter, and the line from the meter or well house to the house is the homeowner's. That private line, buried under the driveway, the lawn and the garden, is where almost every leak we find lives.

360 Leak Finders is a Kitsap company. We're based in Central Kitsap, our everyday range runs from the Hood Canal Bridge and Hansville in the north to Olalla in the south and across the Agate Pass Bridge to Bainbridge Island, and we also make dedicated trips to Port Townsend. We locate the leak, we excavate with our own mini excavator and crew, we repair or replace the line in PEX or HDPE, we handle the exterior drain and footing drain work that so often goes with it, and we put the property back. One company, one crew, start to finish, 24 hours a day.

Leak detection in Kitsap County

Across the county the method is the same and the ground changes everything: till and clay on the uplands and bluffs surface water far from the break, outwash in the valleys hides it, and peat in the creek bottoms holds it. We locate acoustically with a correlator on every pressurized line, from city meters in Bremerton to well tanks in Olalla.

Water line repair and replacement in Kitsap County

Every pipe material of the last century is in the ground somewhere in Kitsap, and we transition all of them to PEX or HDPE with buried-rated fittings. Short city lots get hand-dug repairs; acreage and island runs get continuous HDPE replacements with the mini excavator.

Exterior drains in Kitsap County

The whole peninsula was shaped by the glacier, and the glacier didn't leave much that drains. French drains, curtain drains, interceptor drains, footing drain replacements and properly outleted downspout lines are the exterior drain work that keeps Kitsap crawlspaces dry.

Excavation in Kitsap County

Hardpan, cobbles, boulders, clay, roots and groundwater, in every combination. We own the mini excavator and the pumps and we bring them everywhere from the Hood Canal Bridge to Olalla.
