Storm surge flooding from Back Creek and the Chesapeake
Why it happens here
Eastport is a peninsula, so storm surge has nowhere to go but into the streets and ground-floor properties. Nor'easters and tropical storms push water over the bulkheads near First Street and Chesapeake Avenue. The low-lying blocks flood first and drain last.
Our approach
We stage pumps and extraction equipment in Eastport before major storms. After the water recedes, we pump out the remaining water, remove contaminated materials, and dry the structure with desiccant dehumidifiers. We also document everything for flood insurance claims.
