Water from the unit above, or a pipe that gave out in an older house? Get it extracted and dried before it spreads.
Water damage in SeaTac comes in two kinds, because the housing does. The city grew up around the airport, with apartments along the main roads and mid-century houses on the residential streets. In apartments, a failed washer, water heater or supply line in one unit reaches its neighbors. In the older houses, aging pipes, drains and water heaters give out, and water drops into crawl spaces or spreads across slabs.
SeaTac sits just west of Tukwila, a short drive from Renton across the valley. Restoration companies working south Renton and Tukwila cover SeaTac as part of the same area.
Restoration companies reached through (425) 584-1660 work in SeaTac as well as Renton, from emergency water removal and flood cleanup to structural drying, leak cleanup and repairs. The company that takes the job looks at the damage and agrees the price and schedule with you directly.
If water came through your ceiling from another unit, photograph it and tell the manager. Then ask that drying start right away, whoever ends up paying.
