Bowie homes and water damage
Belair has 1960s Levitt homes, many with original plumbing. South Bowie and Collington have mostly 1980s–2000s homes with finished basements. Many Belair homes are 1960s Levitt houses that have been expanded with additions and finished basements, and original plumbing is reaching the end of its life. When a sump pump fails or a sewer backs up, water spreads across the lower level quickly. Newer South Bowie homes have finished basements with sump pumps.
Basement flooding
Heavy rain floods finished basements through walls and window wells.
Sewer backups
Cloudbursts overwhelm sewers and back water into floor drains.
Freeze bursts
Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls.
Ice dams
Snow and freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams.
Aging plumbing
1960s homes have aging water heaters and supply lines.
Tropical storm remnants
Remnants of hurricanes bring heavy rain that floods basements across Prince George's County.
Sump pump failures
Power outages during storms stop sump pumps exactly when they're needed most, flooding finished basements.

Bowie questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Bowie?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement.
Does insurance cover a flooded basement in Bowie?
It depends on the source. Burst pipes are often covered, sewer backup needs an endorsement, and groundwater flooding needs flood insurance.
