Then there is the Puget Sound winter. Mild and wet like the rest of Kitsap, with the Clear Creek valley flooding in the biggest atmospheric rivers. The December 2022 freeze and the January 2024 cold snap both produced a run of split hose bibs and frozen garage water heater lines in Ridgetop homes where the pipe runs through unheated space. Snow on the ridges tends to linger longer than in Bremerton. We reach Silverdale in about 25 to 30 minutes from Port Orchard up Highway 3 past Bremerton, and the trucks go out stocked for the jobs this community generates most.
Why water heater repair is a little different in Silverdale
The hard freezes in recent winters left some Silverdale water heaters in garages and crawlspaces with split fittings or frozen relief valve lines. We repair the connection and insulate what should have been insulated the first time.
The housing itself shapes the job. Silverdale grew with the Trident base. A small Old Town core of early 1900s and mid-century houses by the water gives way to wave after wave of tract subdivisions from the late 1970s through the 2000s on Ridgetop, Island Lake and the hills above Clear Creek, plus a lot of apartment and townhouse construction near the mall since 2010. That means copper and early PEX supply lines, ABS drains, polybutylene in some late-80s builds, and a generation of original water heaters reaching the end at the same time.
