Water Damage Restoration in Kingsgate, Kirkland: Same Day Help

Kingsgate, also called Evergreen Hill, is a neighborhood of 1960s and 70s split-levels and ramblers on quiet, tree-lined streets near Kingsgate Park. It joined Kirkland in 2011 with Juanita and Finn Hill. Many homes here are on their original pipes and their second or third water heater, with carpeted lower levels that soak up water fast. Our emergency crews answer 24 hours a day and come the same day.

Why split-levels get wet on the lower level

In a split-level, the lower floor sits partly below ground and often holds the water heater, laundry and a carpeted family room. When the heater leaks or the washer overflows, water spreads straight into carpet and pad on concrete. That needs fast carpet drying and often water heater leak cleanup.

What to do right now in a Kingsgate home

  • Find the main shut-off. In many Kingsgate homes it sits in the garage or near the water heater.

  • For a heater leak, turn the cold supply valve on top of the tank to off, and switch off gas or the breaker.

  • Lift furniture off wet lower-level carpet and set it on foil or blocks.

  • Move photos, papers and electronics out of the family room and storage closets.

  • Take photos and video of the water before cleanup starts.

  • Call us. We stay on the phone until the water is stopped.

Protecting a 50-year-old home from water damage

Kingsgate homes were built well, but many systems inside them are now decades old. A few upgrades go a long way.

Water heater

If your tank is over 10 to 12 years old, plan to replace it, and add a drain pan and leak sensor.

Supply lines and valves

Swap old rubber or plastic lines on toilets, sinks and washers for braided steel, and make sure shut-off valves still turn.

Pipes

If you see brown water or low pressure, ask a plumber about the condition of your pipes. Our leak detection can find active leaks.

When it does leak

Call us right away. Fast drying keeps a small leak from becoming a big repair.
