In Riverside, WA, the combination of older century structures along the river and flat commercial roofs creates plumbing vulnerabilities. Burst pipes from hard winter freezes or aging supply lines can contribute to backups, sending contaminated water into low lying basements or ground floor spaces in these converted lofts and apartments.
