A Small City on the Valley Floor
Algona is small and flat. Once called Valley City, it sits on the valley floor between Auburn and Pacific, the same ground the White, Green and Stuck rivers flooded regularly before the dams were built. The dams changed how often the valley floods, not the ground under it. In a long wet winter, the water table rises close to the surface, and crawlspaces take on water. When the White River runs high, low streets near it are the first to see standing water.
Algona Water Notes
- The ground: flat valley floor between Auburn and Pacific
- The houses: mostly modest single-family homes, many over crawlspaces
- The water risk: high groundwater in long wet spells; surface water and, on low ground, river water
Algona and Auburn
Algona borders Auburn to the south. Calls from here go to the same restoration companies that work Auburn's valley floor.
Restoration Help for Algona Homes
Calls to (253) 338-5837 from Algona go to restoration companies that also take Auburn jobs. They handle restoration and mitigation, emergency water removal, flood damage cleanup, ceiling leaks, wet walls and floors and basements and crawlspaces. The company that takes the job sees the damage first, then works out price and timing with you.
After flood water, the crawlspace needs as much attention as the rooms above it.
