Raleigh Water closed the 100 block of East Morgan Street, between South Wilmington Street and South Blount Street, for a water main repair on January 24, 2024. Mains under downtown streets can break in cold weather, and crews often have to work to keep escaping water from freezing in the street.
A break under a downtown street can push water toward basements, lower-level shops and parking areas. If water is entering from inside your building, shut off the building's water at the main valve, move electronics and inventory up off the floor, and photograph everything before cleanup starts. We extract standing water, measure moisture in walls, floors and ceilings below the loss, and dry to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Downtown Raleigh
Downtown Raleigh buildings mix offices, restaurants, retail and apartments, so one water loss can reach several tenants on different floors. Main breaks in the street, frozen sprinkler and supply lines in cold snaps, and leaks from units above are the losses we prepare for here, along with storm damage to roofs and windows.
Mold usually follows water in Downtown Raleigh 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 Downtown Raleigh 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.
