Matthews sits on the Mecklenburg and Union County line, with mature neighborhoods and a walkable downtown. We handle water extraction, structural drying, and repairs from Trade Street to Idlewild Road.
Mature trees, established streets, and a lot of storm exposure.
Matthews has been growing for decades, so you find 1960s ranches, 1990s subdivisions, and newer townhomes within a few miles. Each has a different water profile.
Historic streets and townhomes
Historic downtown Matthews and the streets around Trade Street
Older homes and small commercial buildings near downtown mix with newer townhomes. Aging plumbing, older roofs, and shared walls are common, and leaks tend to be slow and hidden.
We trace moisture to its source and work with neighbors and managers where walls are shared.
What we often see
Aging supply and drain lines in older walls
Leaks between townhome units
Old roofs and flashing that leak in storms
1960s to 1980s homes
Established neighborhoods along Matthews-Mint Hill Road
Many Matthews houses are ranches and split-levels with decades-old water heaters, supply lines, and roofs. Slab foundations can hide leaks beneath flooring.
We find the hidden water, dry the floors and subfloor, and replace what cannot be saved.
What we often see
Slab leaks under tile, wood, or vinyl
Old water heaters in garages and closets
Roofs near the end of their life
1990s and newer
Larger subdivisions toward Idlewild Road and Stallings
Two-story homes with upstairs laundry, tight HVAC closets, and finished bonus rooms are common. A single burst hose can soak a ceiling and the room below before it is found.
We dry each affected level and check the rooms below the source.
What we often see
Washer and ice maker lines
Water heater and HVAC closet leaks
Condensate drains over finished rooms
Tree and roof damage
Storm damage from tree limbs and wind-driven rain
Mature trees line many Matthews streets. A limb through a roof or a clogged gutter can let rain into the attic and ceilings, and water can run a long way before it shows.
We dry the structure, document the damage for your insurer, and rebuild after the roof is secured.
What we often see
Branches and limbs puncturing roofs
Wind-driven rain past damaged shingles
Overflowing gutters soaking fascia and walls
Townhomes and condos
Shared walls? Tell your neighbors and manager.
In attached housing, water and smoke rarely stay in one home.
Do
Tell your HOA or property manager as soon as you find the leak.
Shut off water to the fixture or the unit if you can do so safely.
Photograph your unit before anything is moved.
Check adjoining units and ceilings below for signs of water.
Contact your insurer and ask what your policy covers.
Don't
Don't assume the leak stays inside your unit.
Don't use outlets near wet walls or ceilings.
Don't discard damaged items before they are photographed.
Don't wait for the building to act while water keeps spreading.
What we are called for
The water damage we handle in Matthews.
Appliance and supply line leaks
A hose lets go while no one is home and soaks floors and ceilings.
Aging water heaters
A tank splits in a garage or closet and floods nearby rooms.
HVAC condensate overflow
A clogged drain line spills into the attic or a closet ceiling.
Tree and roof damage
A fallen limb or lifted shingles let rain into the attic.
Slab and supply leaks
Hidden lines fail under floors or inside walls.
Creek and storm runoff
Heavy rain sends water toward garages and low spots near creeks.
Matthews weather
How the weather soaks Matthews buildings.
Storm season
Thunderstorms in warm months can send trees and limbs into roofs and bring heavy rain behind them.
Tropical remnants in late summer and fall can saturate the area for days.
Clay soil drains slowly, so water lingers around slabs and foundations.
Homes near Four Mile Creek and other creeks should check whether they are in a flood zone.
Humid summers and cold snaps
Long, humid summers clog condensate lines and slow drying.
Moisture in crawl spaces and attics encourages mold.
Short hard freezes split pipes in garages, attics, and exterior walls.

We locate where the water is going, remove affected flooring where needed, and dry the subfloor and slab. A plumber has to repair the line itself, and we can work around their schedule.
Often, but not always. Coverage turns on the cause of the loss and the wording of your policy, so call your insurer early. We keep clear records of the damage and the work to support your claim.
Maybe. The mark can outlast the leak. A moisture reading shows whether the area is still wet, and whether the damp spot has grown beyond the stain.
