Lochsa Falls: Block Notes
- Built: one of Meridian's larger neighborhoods, known for its parks and pathways
- Under the floor: mostly crawlspaces
- Nearest canal or drain: irrigation laterals near the parks and common areas
- What usually fails first: laundry, bathroom and kitchen supply lines; floors in open main levels
One of Meridian's Larger Neighborhoods
Lochsa Falls is one of Meridian's larger neighborhoods, and its parks are a big part of why people move there. The homes are mostly the open-plan tract houses the valley built in volume: kitchens that run into family rooms, one continuous floor of laminate or vinyl plank across the main level, and crawlspaces under it. What you see when a dishwasher or fridge line lets go in a house like that is water that spreads a long way before anyone notices, under the cabinets, across the plank seams and toward the next room. What it usually means is water under the floor covering and in the subfloor. What happens next is readings across the whole main level, and often taking up planks so the subfloor can dry.
From Lochsa Falls Kitchens and Crawlspaces
One continuous floor looks good but spreads water. A company may have to lift a wider area than the puddle to reach all of the wet subfloor.
The pages that fit most Lochsa Falls calls: ceilings, walls and drywall, floors and carpet, crawlspaces and basements, frozen and burst pipes, or the full restoration and mitigation job.
Knowing where your dishwasher and fridge shutoff valves are saves more floor than anything else in a kitchen leak.
