Condos, Townhomes and New Construction

Totem Lake became part of Kirkland in 1974 and has grown into the city's busiest center outside downtown, with a hospital, a redeveloped shopping district and a lot of newer apartments, condos and townhomes. Higher-density housing changes how water damage plays out. A dishwasher or toilet supply line failing in one unit can soak the ceiling of the unit below, and the question of who handles what involves the homeowners association as well as the owners.

The Houses Here

Alongside single-family homes on the surrounding hills, Totem Lake has stacked condos, townhomes with laundry on upper floors, and mixed-use buildings with homes above shops. Shared walls and floors are where the complications start, because water rarely respects unit lines.
