West Hill Fact Sheet

Ground: the slope and plateau west of the valley floor, toward Peasley Canyon
Nearest river: the Green, on the valley floor below
Typical homes: one-story and split-level homes on sloped lots, some with mountain views, plus newer construction
What usually gets wet: daylight basements, lower-level carpet, walls on the uphill side

Hillside Lots West of the Valley

West Hill homes sit on a slope, and water on a slope moves downhill through the soil. After a long rain, that water reaches the uphill side of a house first. On a home with a daylight basement or a lower floor dug into the hill, it presses on the wall and finds the joint at the floor. Lots here range from older one-story homes on larger parcels to newer builds near Peasley Canyon Road, and the lower level is where water tends to show up. On the downhill side, a slider or a window well at grade can let surface water straight in during a heavy storm.
