Most Common Causes of Water Damage in the Chesapeake & Hampton Roads Area


Coastal Storms, Flash Flooding & Heavy Rain

Chesapeake’s geography includes rivers, canals, and marshlands. Heavy rainfall, combined with storm surge and poor drainage, can overwhelm properties, especially in flood-prone neighborhoods like Deep Creek and South Norfolk. Read our guide for what to do when flash floods strike.

Leaking Pipes & Supply Lines

Whether it’s a cracked supply line under a Greenbrier kitchen sink or aging plumbing in a historic Oaklette home, even slow leaks can lead to rot, mold, and structural instability over time. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.

Clogged Drains or Failing Sump Pumps

Blocked sewer lines, sump pump failures, and backup issues are common in both older and new homes across the region. These can cause rapid water intrusion, especially during heavy storms. Here are some tips to help maintain your sump pump.

Frozen Pipes in Winter Months

While Chesapeake winters are moderate, sudden cold snaps can still cause pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces or garages to freeze and burst, leading to significant damage if not caught early. Read our tips on how to prevent pipes from freezing, and find tips about winter storm safety for homeowners.

Appliance Overflows

Washing machines, dishwashers, or water heaters can malfunction without warning. Overflowing units in multi-story homes or townhouses may damage not only your unit but also neighboring walls or ceilings. Head over to our blog to find out what actions to take if your washing machine overflows.

Roof Leaks & Gutter Failures

Homes in the area often experience roof leaks due to wind damage, aging shingles, or clogged gutters. This can lead to interior water damage, mold, and compromised insulation if not repaired quickly. Find out what actions you should take if you discover a leak in your roof.

Fire-Related Water Damage

Water used to extinguish a kitchen fire or triggered sprinkler systems can result in extensive water damage, requiring professional drying, odor removal, and restoration. Read our list of facts about home sprinkler systems.

Water Leak Detection Services

Even small hidden leaks inside historic Oaklette homes or new suburban builds can lead to major water damage. Using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and non-invasive detection tools, we find and stop water leaks before they escalate.

Flood Damage Restoration Services

Homes near the Dismal Swamp Canal or deep in the Great Bridge area are especially prone to flooding. Our expert flood cleanup crews safely extract standing water, dry structures, and restore your property from waterlogged floors to ruined contents.

Emergency Structural Drying Services

After water removal, we tackle hidden moisture in crawl spaces, subflooring, drywall, and attics to prevent mold growth and long-term damage, especially in Tidewater-style homes with elevated foundations.

24/7 Emergency Water Extraction

Flooded basement in Deep Creek? Leaking HVAC system in your Greenbrier office? We respond 24/7 with professional water extraction equipment to stop the damage fast and begin mitigation immediately.

Dehumidification Services

Humid Virginia air can prolong the drying process. We deploy industrial-grade dehumidifiers, including both desiccant and refrigerant systems, to manage indoor moisture and prevent musty odors, mold, and structural rot.

Cabinet & Vanity Drying Services

Kitchen or bathroom cabinets in suburban homes or older properties can absorb moisture quickly. Our drying process salvages these fixtures and prevents mold and warping, avoiding costly replacements.

Mold Remediation

Chesapeake’s climate makes mold a year-round concern after water events. We contain, remediate, and sanitize affected areas using HEPA filtration, antimicrobial agents, and certified remediation protocols.
