Restoration help in Canby
Canby sits on flat agricultural ground in the notch between the Willamette and the Pudding rivers. It's a genuine small city with a compact older core, post-war spread, and rural properties at the edges. Low country: the water table is close, and the flat ground doesn't shed rain fast.
The buildings
The core is early-to-midcentury single-family on basements and crawlspaces; the spread is later subdivision. Rural-edge properties add wells, outbuildings, and plumbing that isn't city-standard.
The water
High groundwater and flat-land drainage are the recurring story, plus the older-home plumbing list through the core. Properties near the rivers take first water when the season runs heavy.
The callback
Core-grid house versus rural-edge property is the first question, and whether the water is ground or supply. A farmhouse on a well and a postwar basement are different jobs, and the crew covering the valley knows both.
Coverage
The downtown core and its grid, the subdivisions around the edges, and the rural properties inside city limits.
