What Makes Spokane Different

Spokane has cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. Deep cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces and garages, and snow on roofs forms ice dams along the eaves of homes with thin attic insulation. A frozen pipe often leaks only when it thaws, so check ceilings and walls after a warm spell.

Summer wildfires in eastern Washington, northern Idaho and beyond can fill the region with smoke, and fires near the edge of town can send ash onto homes. Close windows, run a HEPA air cleaner and replace HVAC filters after a smoke event. Smoke odor in ducts and soft goods usually needs professional cleaning.

Many older homes have basements, and spring snowmelt and rain raise groundwater that seeps through old foundation walls. A sump pump and gutters that carry water away from the house help. Much of the older housing was built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before sanding, scraping or demolition.
