Digging and draining in Hansville depend on the soil. Hansville occupies the northern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, with Puget Sound on one side and Hood Canal on the other. Point No Point is a low sandy spit with a very high water table; Driftwood Key's canal lots are at sea level; the bluff neighborhoods sit on glacial till and clay above the beaches. Salt air and brackish groundwater corrode buried steel fast. At a little over an hour from Port Orchard, the longest drive we make inside Kitsap County from Port Orchard, Hansville is a regular line on our schedule, not a special trip.
Why emergency plumbing is a little different in Hansville
For Hansville landlords and property managers, a tenant's after-hours leak or backup goes to the same number. We coordinate access, fix the problem, and send you the report.
It helps to know who delivers the water. Kitsap PUD serves most of Hansville through a system that is now linked with Kingston and Gamblewood. Some outlying properties toward Eglon and on the Hood Canal side are on private wells.
