Helene's remnants dropped 3.76 inches on Charlottesville over 72 hours from September 25 to 28, 2024, and the National Weather Service river forecast center said 7-day totals exceeded 10 to 12 inches in spots, particularly near Charlottesville. In the flash flooding of May 2018, the City and Albemarle County announced significant road closures and opened the Regional Emergency Operations Center.
Long rain on saturated ground sends water through foundation walls, crawl spaces and low floors, and stormwater can overwhelm septic fields. If floodwater or sewage reaches your home, avoid contact, shut off power to wet areas and call us. We extract, remove contaminated materials, disinfect and dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Charlottesville
Charlottesville properties face creek and stormwater flooding, runoff on sloped lots, roof and window leaks in wind-driven rain, and pipe failures in winter. The Blue Ridge Health District oversees private wells and septic systems in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, so after a flood or sewage loss we advise testing wells and having the septic system checked before normal use resumes.
Mold usually follows water in Charlottesville homes. A lower-level 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 lower-level, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Charlottesville 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.
