Hellertown is a borough of about 1.3 square miles in Northampton County, part of the Lehigh Valley and just over the line from Bucks County. Johann Christoph Heller and his son Johann Simon Heller settled here in 1742, on land at the southern foot of Lehigh Mountain along the Saucon Creek. The town grew from a farming village into an industrial center after coal yards opened in 1848, the Lower Saucon Ironworks followed in 1849, and the North Pennsylvania Railroad arrived in 1856.

Some of that past still stands. The Heller-Wagner Grist Mill on West Walnut Street is home to the Hellertown Historical Society, and Lost River Caverns, a natural limestone cavern, sits in town. Main Street, which carries PA 412, is the busy commercial spine of the historic borough, lined with shops, restaurants, churches, and apartments.

That long history shapes the property damage calls we see today. Older stone and frame buildings sit close to creeks, and the Silver Creek is buried under Main Street and passes beneath several buildings. When heavy rain hits, water finds basements, lower floors, and parking lots quickly.

Road Connections to Hellertown From Our Plumstead Township Base

Our shop is in Plumstead Township, north of Doylestown along the Route 611 corridor in Bucks County. Hellertown is about 18 miles to the northwest in a straight line, by our own calculation from map coordinates. That means it sits across the county line in Northampton County, so it’s a longer trip than our closer Bucks County towns. Road distance is longer than the straight-line figure, and actual timing depends on traffic, weather, and the job.

Here’s how the main roads connect. PA 611 runs north through Plumstead Township and upper Bucks County. PA 412 runs north and south through Hellertown on Main Street, heading north to Bethlehem and south into Bucks County, where it provides access to PA 611. Just outside the borough limits, PA 412 has an interchange with Interstate 78, which heads west toward Allentown and east toward Easton.

Inside the borough, Main Street meets Polk Valley Road at the border with Lower Saucon Township, and Water Street crosses the Saucon Creek on the Water Street Bridge. West Walnut Street leads past the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill. Those low spots flood first in a hard rain, so we plan around standing water when storms are still passing.

Wherever you are in town, the restoration services Hellertown property owners need are a phone call away. Call Now for Fast Service at (267) 454-2200.

Flash Floods, Buried Creeks, and Winter: What Drives Hellertown Damage

Hellertown has flooded badly twice in recent years. In early August 2020, the remnants of Hurricane Isaias dumped nearly six inches of rain on the area and flooded parts of the 600 block of Main Street. Then on September 1, 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida brought an estimated five to seven inches of rain to the Saucon Valley, based on National Weather Service estimates reported by Saucon Source.

During Ida, the Saucon Creek rose fast under the Water Street Bridge. The Silver Creek overflowed and covered parking lots behind Main Street businesses in mud. Water was deep enough on Main Street to float a dumpster, and the intersection of Main and Water streets went under. At the Heller-Wagner Grist Mill, water entered the low-lying Tavern Room, and several businesses closed temporarily to clean up.

The cause is partly underground. The Silver Creek is buried beneath Main Street and passes under several buildings, so when it can’t carry a downpour, water rises in the street and pushes toward lower levels. The nearby Saucon Creek is also prone to flooding. Outdoor flood water is Category 3, so carpet pad, drywall, and other porous materials usually have to come out before drying starts.

Inside homes, trouble often starts below grade. Groundwater pushes through stone foundation walls, window wells fill, and floor drains back up. If the power goes out, the sump pump stops right when it’s needed.

Winter adds frozen pipes in exterior walls, which can leak behind finishes for days. Ice dams can push meltwater into attics and soak insulation before a ceiling stain shows. Furnaces running hard can cause puff-backs that coat rooms in oily soot.

Summer humidity slows drying, and damp materials can start growing mold within days if nobody measures moisture.

We follow IICRC practices: stop the source, extract the water, clean by Category, and dry to documented readings. For restoration services Hellertown can rely on after the next storm, Call Now for Fast Service at (267) 454-2200.
