Water Damage Restoration in Lacamas Shores, WA

Lacamas Shores wraps the south and east side of Lacamas Lake, a neighborhood of larger homes on half-acre lots laid out around the Camas Meadows golf course from the 1990s on, with the Lacamas Heritage Trail running along the water. The lake itself is a widening of Lacamas Creek, which drains 67 square miles above it and drops into the Washougal River just below town. The lots slope to the lake, the houses have daylight basements facing the water, and the soil between them stays wet from November to March.

The lake is also the low point of a basin that has lost most of its wetlands to development, so runoff surges after a heavy rain come faster than they used to, and the shoreline lots feel it first.

This site connects Lacamas Shores homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the lot before the house.

Lacamas Shores water damage on a lot that drains to the lake

A lakeside daylight basement with a wet wall on the uphill side is a water extraction job followed by drying the framing behind the drywall. A crawl space under the lake-facing side that filled when the ground saturated is crawl space water extraction work. Muddy water that came across the lawn and into the garage during a February storm is flood cleanup, and the crew treats it as contaminated from the start.

The people who watch the lake's water

The Lacamas Watershed Council is the citizen group that monitors the lake's water quality and the algae blooms that close it in summer, and its work is a reminder that everything on these lots drains downhill into the same water. Rebuilds go through the City of Camas permit desk.
