A long rainy season
Months of steady rain in Washington keep roofs, gutters, and crawl spaces under constant moisture load. Small leaks that go unnoticed for weeks are common, so structural drying often includes finding where water has been entering slowly.
Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of structural drying in Washington. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
Crawl spaces and wood subfloors
Crawl space foundations are common in Washington. Water that reaches the crawl space soaks insulation and wood framing out of sight, so structural drying often includes inspecting and drying under the house, not only the rooms above.
