Erosion and landslides are more than natural events—they are serious threats that can jeopardize the stability, safety, and long-term value of your property. In Washington State, where steep slopes, heavy seasonal rainfall, and wildfire-impacted landscapes are common, erosion can happen faster than many homeowners or businesses realize. Without proper control measures, even minor soil movement can escalate into costly structural issues, hazardous conditions, and significant property damage.
Understanding Erosion: What Homeowners & Businesses Need to Know
Erosion begins gradually. Wind, water, and gravity slowly wear away topsoil over time. But this natural process accelerates dramatically when land is disturbed—such as when vegetation is removed for construction, agriculture, or landscaping. Once the root systems that naturally hold soil together are gone, the ground becomes looser, weaker, and more vulnerable to shifting.
When erosion goes unchecked, the consequences can be serious:
Whether you own a home, manage a commercial property, or oversee land development, erosion control is essential for protecting your investment and preventing larger problems in the future.
How Erosion Turns Into Landslides
While erosion is gradual, landslides can happen suddenly—and the results can be catastrophic. Landslides occur when soil loses its grip on a slope, typically after becoming saturated by long periods of rain. In Washington’s climate, this is a common risk, especially during fall and winter.
Several factors increase landslide risk:
Once soil becomes heavy with water, it can no longer support itself. Slopes fail, hillsides slide, and debris can threaten homes, roads, retaining walls, and commercial structures. If water reaches the bedrock beneath the soil, stability is lost even faster.
This is why erosion control and slope stabilization are not optional—they are critical.
