What that means for a call
Edmonds's median home was built in 1974, and about 61% of the housing stock predates 1980. That mix of older and newer homes is the context for most calls: the age of the house tells the pro what kind of shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines to expect.
Local watch-outs
- During smoke events, keep HVAC filters clean and check exterior vents, soffits, and roof edges for places where embers or smoke can enter.
- Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
- Owner-occupied blocks tend to stay on top of small repairs. If you rent, put the request in writing to the landlord or property manager and keep a photo.
