Hillside and Waterfront Homes on the Island
On Mercer Island, water damage tends to reach expensive finished space. Most of the island is hillside, and many homes step down toward the water with finished lower levels. Long rains send runoff toward the uphill walls. Waterfront lots deal with damp ground close to the lake. Inside, larger homes with more bathrooms and finished space mean a single supply-line failure can reach a lot of expensive material.
How Mercer Island Relates to Renton
