The crew documents moisture readings and photos so the loss can be itemized for the carrier.
In Northgate, many mid-century homes and apartments sit on flatter ground with basements and crawlspaces. During Seattle's long rainy stretches, these spaces can seep, and storm drain backups can cause slow drainage, making sump pumps a critical defense against interior water damage. Northgate's older homes often rely on basement sump pumps. The area's flat topography and slow drainage during heavy rain, combined with aging plumbing, create a common scenario where these pumps can be overwhelmed or fail during the wet season.
