Portland at a glance
Lower flood risk. Eight months of rain is the primary concern here.
The Willamette River runs through the city, and Portland's roughly eight-month wet season means crawlspaces and north-facing exteriors rarely get a long enough dry stretch to fully recover between rain events.
Portland's older bungalow and foursquare homes, many built with old-growth Douglas fir framing, resist rot better than modern lumber but were rarely built with sealed crawlspaces, leaving them exposed to the region's long, damp winters.
A rain-on-snow event sent the Willamette River to its highest level in decades, flooding low-lying parts of the metro area including sections near downtown.
Understanding Portland's specific conditions is key to effective mold remediation.
