Coverage area

Water Main Break for Burien and nearby

Burien, WA is a suburb of mid-century and older homes built on gently rolling ground. Prolonged winter rain can overwhelm aging drainage systems, and the failure of old water supply lines often sends a high volume of water into basements and lower levels, requiring immediate professional cleanup. Aging infrastructure is common in Burien. Older sewer and water supply lines fail with time, and the area's cool, wet climate means prolonged rain can push water into foundations, compounding the flooding from a main break. From Burien, crews also cover nearby Shoreline, Kirkland, Tukwila, Newcastle, Lake Forest Park, Boulevard Park. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
