Contractor in 20744
Fort Washington, MD
Fort Washington is built into the slope above the Potomac and Piscataway Creek, so a lot of the calls we get from 20744 start in the basement. We rebuild lower levels after storm water, fix upstairs leaks in Tantallon and turn rental houses.
20744 Is Hills Running Down to the Potomac
Fort Washington is steep ground. Streets climb away from the Potomac and Piscataway Creek, and a lot of the houses are built into the slope.
That is why so many of the calls from 20744 start in the basement.

Walkout Basements
A walkout basement is a lower level that opens straight onto the backyard because the house sits on a hill. Fort Washington and Tantallon have them street after street.
The walkout door, the stairwell drain and the window wells sit on the low side of the house, so storm water heads there first. When it gets in, the finished lower level takes the damage.
Why Fort Washington Calls Us
Storm water in the lower level
Water through a walkout door or a window well soaks the carpet, the bottom of the drywall and the insulation. We remove it, dry the room and rebuild it.
Basement water damageUpstairs leaks in Tantallon
The large homes around Tantallon Country Club have long supply runs and second-floor laundries. A failed hose upstairs can wet two floors before anyone notices.
Burst pipe damageRental houses between tenants
Single-family rentals off Indian Head Highway (MD 210) and Livingston Road need paint, floors and repairs on a schedule, priced in writing.
House turnoversHardwood up, LVP down
Main levels with original hardwood get refinished. Lower levels get LVP over a tested slab, because the walkout floor is the one that sees water.
