Local risks
What causes water damage in Union Bridge
Original plumbing in older homes
81% of Union Bridge's housing predates 1960. Pipes that old narrow with rust, joints weaken and drain lines crack, so a small drip behind plaster or under a floor can go unnoticed until stains or soft spots appear.
Rowhouse roofs and walls
Flat rowhouse roofs and shared walls let leaks travel between homes.
Basement flooding
Heavy summer storms overwhelm drainage and sump pumps in finished basements.
