Why Round Hill Homes Suffer Water Damage

Virginia wind events peel shingles and flashing off Round Hill roofs in minutes. The rain that follows has a direct path inside. Nor easters batter the Eastern Shore, so post-storm roof checks are essential here.

Sump pump failures

Slab leaks

Copper lines under Round Hill slab foundations corrode and pinhole over decades. Warm spots on the floor and the sound of running water with taps closed are the classic tells. Loudoun County slabs from the 70s and 80s are prime candidates.
