Footing Drain Repair in Kitsap County, WA

How we handle drains here

A wet crawlspace in Kitsap County usually traces to a footing drain that silted shut decades ago. Homes from wartime housing, mid-century suburbs and the 1980s boom have corrugated pipe at the footing laid in clay on the bluffs without fabric. We excavate the affected walls on 40-foot city lots to 20-acre parcels, lay perforated pipe in fabric on rock, rebuild the outlet, and backfill with rock.

Our footing drain repair notes on Kitsap County say the same thing: expect every material of the last century, expect outwash in the valleys on subdivisions and farms alike, expect a crawlspace wet every winter before anything visible near Highway 3.

We bring the mini excavator, pumps, perforated PVC or HDPE and cleanouts and outlet structures on the first footing drain repair trip. Trenches in hardpan on the uplands are opened to grade, not scraped by eye, and island drives and shoreline bluffs goes back when the drain is in near Highway 3.

The water service line shares the trench along the foundation, and in Kitsap County it's often long poly well lines on acreage. With 40-foot city lots to 20-acre parcels open we'll say what it's made of and what shape it's in. Fixing both while clay on the bluffs is already moved saves a second dig.
