Aging plumbing in historic homes

Common local problems
Common Water Damage Problems in Downtown Hyattsville
Downtown Hyattsville faces specific water damage challenges due to its older housing stock, proximity to the Northwest Branch Anacostia River, and urban flooding. These are the most common problems we see and how we solve them.
Burst pipes in older homes
Many homes in Hyattsville Historic District have galvanized steel pipes that corrode over time. Freezing temperatures in winter can also cause pipes to burst. We use thermal imaging to locate the burst pipe without tearing out walls. We repair the pipe or refer you to a licensed plumber, then dry the area and treat for mold.
Basement flooding from sump pump failures
Heavy rain can overwhelm sump pumps, especially in West Hyattsville and Kirkwood. Power outages during storms can also cause pumps to fail. We install backup sump pumps and battery systems. We extract water quickly and use dehumidifiers to dry the space. We also check for foundation leaks.
Sewage backups in mixed-use developments
Aging sewer lines and heavy rain can cause backups in commercial and residential buildings. University Town Center and Arts District are particularly vulnerable. We handle sewage cleanup with full PPE and EPA-approved disinfectants. We remove contaminated materials and dispose of them safely. We also work with property managers to prevent future backups.
Roof leaks and ceiling water damage
Summer storms and aging roofs can lead to leaks. Historic homes in the Arts District may have original slate roofs that are prone to damage. We tarp the roof to stop water intrusion, then repair the interior damage. We use moisture meters to find hidden moisture and dry the structure. We also work with roofers to fix the source.
