Read the pattern
Record rainfall timing, first wet edge, lowest opening, fixture use, roof and area-drain behavior, floor cracks, odors, solids, neighboring conditions, and whether water changes when household use stops.

Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
Keep away from suspected sewage, wet electrical equipment, contaminated porous materials, unstable foundations, and flooded confined areas. Stop unnecessary water use until the route is understood.
Place the Seattle boundary
SPU separates drainage and wastewater responsibilities, while a property's private pipes and building envelope may involve several trades. The utility response should remain distinct from private diagnosis.
Write the visit
Define whether the visit covers plumbing fixtures, building drain, side sewer, sump, roof or area drain, foundation seepage, sampling, cleanup, drying, or public reporting, and name every exclusion.
Keep the closing evidence
Recreate only safe operating conditions, document public findings, inspect after later rain if needed, and track sanitation, drying, and envelope follow-up separately from restored plumbing flow.
