Footing Drain Repair for Silverdale Homes and Properties

How we handle drains here

A wet crawlspace in Silverdale usually traces to a footing drain that silted shut decades ago. Homes from the subdivision boom after the Kitsap Mall opened have corrugated pipe at the footing laid in loose outwash on the Clear Creek flats without fabric. We excavate the affected walls on Ridgetop and Island Lake cul-de-sacs, lay perforated pipe in fabric on rock, rebuild the outlet, and backfill with rock.

If you're near Ridgetop or the Kitsap Mall and you've noticed a split poly line with no warning, the odds are on insert fittings with failed clamps in dense hardpan up on Ridgetop. That's a job for footing drain repair, not a guess with a shovel.

We bring the mini excavator, pumps, perforated PVC or HDPE and filter fabric and clean on the first footing drain repair trip. Trenches in a winter water table close to the surface are opened to grade, not scraped by eye, and acreage out Anderson Hill Road goes back when the drain is in near Ridgetop.

A wet spot that never appears every winter on Ridgetop and Island Lake cul-de-sacs is a footing drain complaint nine times out of ten. We open loose outwash on the Clear Creek flats to the footing, replace the drain in fabric and rock, and give it an outlet that works near Clear Creek.

Ground and water in Silverdale

Clear Creek's wetlands and the high winter water table near Dyes Inlet mean French drains need a real outlet; a dry well in that ground just fills. The big build-out after the Kitsap Mall opened in 1985 filled the Ridgetop plateau, the Island Lake area and the slopes above Dyes Inlet with subdivisions, and a large share of those homes were plumbed with polybutylene or first-generation polyethylene service lines.

Homes from the subdivision boom after the Kitsap Mall opened near Ridgetop got corrugated pipe or clay tile laid in a winter water table close to the surface without fabric. On acreage out Anderson Hill Road those are silted, crushed or parted now. For footing drain repair we diagnose and replace them on a true grade to a working outlet.

What to expect

Outlet comes first; diagnose follows, and on acreage out Anderson Hill Road with trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet it's usually the longest part; excavate the foundation finishes. That's footing drain repair from the Kitsap Mall to Silverdale Way, with filter fabric and clean on hand throughout.

We carry perforated PVC or HDPE and filter fabric and clean on every footing drain repair call so nothing becomes a second visit to Anderson Hill Road. Scope in Silverdale is set by trench walls that slough near Dyes Inlet, tight side yards full of irrigation and the condition of gray polybutylene from the 1980s.

We've seen a split poly line with no warning on 60- to 120-foot subdivision runs near Ridgetop and a district bill that jumps a tier by the Kitsap Mall. Both times the line was insert fittings with failed clamps, the ground was dense hardpan up on Ridgetop, and the fix was footing drain repair done once.
