Seattle-Specific Prep: What to Inspect Before Remodeling
Seattle’s damp autumn air can reveal hidden issues in your kitchen. Start by checking under sinks for slow leaks, common in older homes near Lake Washington or the Duwamish River floodplain. Test your garbage disposal and dishwasher connections, as moisture can corrode wiring. If you’re in a neighborhood like Kirkland or Bellevue with older plumbing, now’s the time to spot rust or mineral buildup before it becomes a bigger job. Our crews often find these issues during fall inspections, saving homeowners thousands in emergency repairs later.
