Lacey's own water utility
Lacey runs its own drinking water system, separate from Olympia's, and plans its wells, storage and pipes in a city water system plan. Like Olympia and Tumwater, Lacey is a partner in the LOTT Clean Water Alliance, which treats the area's wastewater. If you see water bubbling up near your meter box or in the street, call the city's utility. If the leak is inside, shut off your main valve and call a plumber and a restoration company.
Apartments, condos and shared walls
With many multifamily buildings in central Lacey, a lot of Lacey water damage starts in one unit and spreads to the next: a washing machine hose on the second floor, a toilet overflow above a ceiling, a sprinkler head knocked in a hallway. In those cases, more than one insurance policy may be involved, including the building's policy, the unit owner's and each tenant's renters policy. Document your own unit with photos even if the property manager is coordinating the cleanup.
Creeks and lakes
Woodland Creek runs north through Lacey toward Henderson Inlet, and FEMA's flood study for Thurston County includes a flood profile for it. Lacey also has several lakes ringed by homes. After long, heavy rain, low ground near creeks and lakes can flood, and groundwater can rise into crawl spaces. Homeowners policies usually exclude flood from outside water. See storm and flood cleanup.
Fire service and fire damage
Lacey Fire District 3 serves the city and surrounding area. Smoke and firefighting water damage follow the same drying steps as any other water job, plus soot cleaning. See fire damage restoration.
