Water Damage in Portsmouth
Water Damage Restoration in Portsmouth, VA
Portsmouth sits along the Elizabeth River and has extensive waterfront exposure, a high water table, and a large stock of older homes. Water damage from tidal flooding, storm surge, aging plumbing, and storm water intrusion is common throughout the city.
Olde Towne and waterfront neighborhoods are particularly susceptible to tidal flooding and storm surge. Older homes in Churchland and Cradock have aging plumbing and building systems that are more prone to failures. The combination of coastal exposure and older housing stock makes proper water damage restoration especially important.
After a water event, the priority is getting materials dried before mold sets in. This requires commercial drying equipment, moisture mapping, daily monitoring, and in some cases, removal of materials that cannot be effectively dried.
Mastertech Tidewater provides water damage restoration in Portsmouth with the same thorough process used throughout the Tidewater region.
