Felida Cleanup and Restoration

Bordered by the Columbia River at the most SouthWest reaches of Washington is Felida. Just 7 miles North of downtown, this family friendly neighborhood has been growing in popularity. Along NW Lakeshore Avenue, you will find desirable restaurants, cafes, shopping and fitness studios. Although largely residential, Felida has its own natural treasure, Vancouver Lake Park. This regional park features 190 acres to enjoy; many visit for kayaking, canoeing and there are many rowing competitions throughout the year. There are 2.5 miles of shoreline, making this a favorite location to walk your furry best friend or enjoy some picnicking in the warmer months. 

In February of 1996, Felida (a known floodplain) and areas surrounding Vancouver Lake experienced the most recent major flooding in Clark County’s history. Approximately 120 businesses and close to 300 homes had experienced flood damage, taking on a few inches of water to 3 or 4 feet. The cause of the flooding was due to an influx of warmer temperatures, extended rainfall and snowmelt. This caused the many surrounding waterways to flood, raising the Columbia River from the normal 8 feet to 27.2 feet. Prior to the flood of ‘96 was The Christmas Flood of 1964 - causing $430 million in damages.

SERVPRO is always ready to mobilize. Our local team of trained and certified technicians can call upon other strategically located SERVPRO’s for support in mass numbers. If an advanced flood warning has been issued, precautions can be taken to avoid further property damage, like shutting off main power sources, unplugging appliances and relocating vehicles to higher grounds.
