Water damage in Orting
Orting sits between the Puyallup and Carbon rivers, southeast of Puyallup up the valley toward Mount Rainier. The town has a long history with high water. In November 2006, flooding led to the evacuation of about 30,000 people from Orting, Fife, Puyallup and Sumner, and the city later rebuilt part of its levee system to give the Puyallup River more room to spread out.
Even without a river flood, the valley floor here stays wet through the winter. Groundwater rises under crawl spaces, and homes near the rivers and low ground feel it first. Many Orting neighborhoods are newer subdivisions, and those see the usual indoor calls: a failed water heater, a split washer hose or a toilet line that gives out.
Whatever the cause, the crew's job is the same. Stop the water, get it out, and dry the house before mold sets in.
