Most water damage emergencies in Blacksburg start with combined sewer overflow during heavy nor'easter rainfall events. From the second water touches the property, every minute changes what gets saved and what gets ripped out.

The area's clay soil can slow drainage, increasing the risk of overflow during storm events, particularly in neighborhoods near Merrimac, Prices Fork, Belview, and other low-lying areas.
