Water Damage Restoration in Hockinson, WA

Hockinson is the unincorporated country in the middle of Clark County, about 14 miles northeast of Vancouver and a short drive north of Fern Prairie, named for the Swedish settler Ambrosious Hokanson whose log house served as the first Lutheran church here in 1884. About 6,100 people live across its 14 square miles at around 390 feet, in 1970s farmhouses, 1990s and 2000s custom homes on acreage, and a few newer subdivisions near the schools. Wells and septic are the rule.

The soil is heavy, the lots are big, and the ground between the houses holds water from November through April. A crawl space here fills from the ground more often than from a pipe.

This site connects Hockinson homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and the field it sits in before setting a scope.

Hockinson water damage on five acres and a drain field

A 1990s custom home with water under the floor in February is a crawl space water extraction job, and the crew will check whether the septic field or the ground is the source. A well pump that keeps cycling with the house shut off is a leak detection call, and the line from the wellhead may run a few hundred feet. A cupped fir or oak floor over that damp crawl space is hardwood floor drying work, and drying from underneath is what saves it.

The school district at the center of the community

The Hockinson School District is the one institution everyone here shares, and the school closures across the county during the January 2024 ice storm were the local measure of how bad the cold got. Rebuild permits go through Clark County Community Development, since there is no city here to issue them.
