A Planned Community on the Pierce County Side
Lakeland Hills is the part of Auburn that's in Pierce County. It's a planned community of roughly 1,500 acres in the hills southeast of the city's center, built in phases starting in the mid-1980s, and Auburn finished annexing it after years of back-and-forth with Bonney Lake. That means a lot of two-story houses of similar ages. Supply lines, washer hoses, water heaters and ice-maker lines installed when the homes were built are all reaching the age when they fail. Water from an upstairs laundry or bathroom runs along the floor joists and shows up as a stain in the room below.
Getting Help in Lakeland Hills
The water heater, washer and fridge line are the usual suspects here. Knowing which one let go, or that you don't know, is enough to start.
Calls from here usually involve ceiling water damage, wet drywall and floors, basement and crawlspace water, water removal, flood cleanup or the whole restoration and mitigation job. One number covers all of it.
Original washer hoses and ice-maker lines in older Lakeland Hills homes are cheap to replace and expensive when they fail.
