Restoration help in Gladstone
Gladstone is the small city parked where the Clackamas River meets the Willamette, bounded by water on two sides. It's one of the metro's quieter corners: older small-lot homes, a walkable grid, and a river junction that's been a flood fact since before the town was platted.
The buildings
The houses are early-to-midcentury single-family, mostly basements and crawlspaces, on a compact grid. Plumbing vintage is the quiet issue: laterals and supply lines in houses this age fail on their own schedule.
The water
The two rivers define the map. Properties on the low ground near the confluence take water in wet years; the rest of the city runs the standard older-home list of basement seepage, lateral backups, and supply failures. Gladstone is the kind of place where the same house has been dried before.
The callback
River-proximate versus interior, and the age of the house, set the scope. A postwar basement a few blocks from the Clackamas gets asked about high-water history first.
Coverage
The whole compact city: the downtown grid, the river-adjacent edges, and the neighborhood pockets out toward Oregon City and Milwaukie.
