Yakima homes and water damage
Barge-Chestnut has early-1900s homes with basements. West Valley has mostly 1970s–2000s homes. Many Barge-Chestnut homes are early-1900s houses with basements, plaster walls and aging plumbing. Newer West Valley homes usually sit on crawlspaces or slabs, and pipes in exterior walls and garages freeze during cold winter nights. Hard water wears out water heaters faster than normal.
