Green Mountain is the part of Camas still being built, a master-planned area on the hill north of Lacamas Lake where subdivisions have been going in since the late 2010s on ground that was a golf course and timber a few years before. The houses are 2018 to 2020s construction, big two-stories and single-levels with three-car garages, on lots cut into a slope that faces south over the lake. Some streets are still being built, which means bare graded ground uphill of finished houses every winter.
New construction on a fresh-cut slope is where runoff problems show up first. The grading has not settled, the landscaping has not taken, and the first two wet winters find every low spot against a foundation.
This site connects Green Mountain homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the lot and the house both.
Water in a garage or a lower-level room from the graded lot above is a water extraction job, and the crew will look at where the builder's drainage discharges. Engineered plank that cupped after a refrigerator line or a laundry hose failed is hardwood floor drying work, and the crew will say early whether that floor dries or gets replaced. A supply line that split in an unfinished garage ceiling during a cold snap is burst pipe water damage cleanup once the water is off.
A house this new may still be under a builder's warranty for drainage and plumbing, so tell the crew when it was finished and who built it. The rebuild, if any, goes through the City of Camas permit desk like the original construction did, and the About page covers how to check a contractor's registration before you sign anything.
Call (360) 226-7395 and describe where the water came in. We route you to an independent local water damage provider working in Green Mountain.
