Talbot Hill at Ground Level

Ground: a hill rising above the valley floor south of downtown, near I-405 and SR 167
Housing: a mix of century-old houses and 1970s–80s homes, with newer infill
Water usually comes from: older plumbing and water heaters, slope runoff, and gutters overflowing beside foundations

High Ground Above the Valley

Talbot Hill rises out of the valley just south of downtown, close to Valley Medical Center and Talbot Hill Reservoir Park. Being up on the hill keeps the river away, but it doesn't keep water out of the houses. Here the trouble is mostly plumbing and age: a water heater that finally rusts through, a supply line that's never been replaced, a drain that's been slow for years. On the slopes, long rains push runoff toward the uphill side of a house, where it seeps in at the base of the wall.

What's Under the Houses

Some houses here are a century old, with crawl spaces, plaster and old-growth fir. Others are 1970s and 80s homes with a lower level built partly into the grade. In the old houses, water drops through the floor. In the hillside ones, it shows up as a damp strip of carpet along the buried wall.
