Tidal and storm flooding on lower King Street repeats, so ground floors and basements near the river need fast extraction and drying each time. On June 13, 2026, Alexandria City Council voted to advance an enhanced gravity storm sewer system for the Old Town waterfront.
Repeated wetting is what makes these losses harder: materials that never fully dry can hold moisture and grow mold. After each event we find hidden moisture behind walls and under floors with meters and thermal imaging, remove what cannot be saved and dry to verified targets. River and storm water is contaminated, so cleaning and disinfection are part of the job.
How We Handle Losses in Alexandria
Alexandria's losses include tidal and storm flooding near the waterfront, heavy-rain flooding in basements, burst pipes in winter freezes and wind damage during thunderstorms. Because water can return to the same ground floor, protecting and drying it properly each time matters more than a quick surface cleanup.
Mold usually follows water in Alexandria homes. A basement or crawl space that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Alexandria usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after tornadoes, straight-line winds, falling trees, and wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
