Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n
\nDoes Bellingham flood?<\/summary>\n
\n

Yes. The Nooksack River has flooded the Bellingham area severely during recent atmospheric-river events, and the heavy rainfall keeps the ground, roofs, and foundations saturated through the wet season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

\nWhy are crawl spaces a concern in Bellingham?<\/summary>\n
\n

Many homes have crawl spaces that stay damp through the long wet season, and because air rises from the crawl space into the home, that moisture is both a structural and an air-quality issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

\nHow do I prevent rainy-season water damage in Bellingham?<\/summary>\n
\n

Clean gutters before and during the wet season, extend downspouts away from the foundation, control roof moss, and dehumidify crawl spaces, drying any intrusion completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
