Why Everett homes need these repairs

Everett is a port and aerospace city north of Seattle, with early 1900s homes near downtown and post-war neighborhoods to the south. Its water comes from Spada Reservoir in the Cascades, so it is soft, and wet winters, older laterals and hillside drainage drive the calls.
