Water Damage Restoration in Hampton Township

We do, from the next valley over. Un-Flood-It has run out of Tarentum since December 2009, owned by Brian Marra, who also owns the plumbing company 1-Tom-Plumber Pittsburgh. Our technicians are IICRC certified, and we carry PA Home Improvement Contractor License #PA080868. Water, sewage, and mold are the whole business. We do not sell fire restoration, rebuilds, or plumbing repair, so our drying advice never pads a construction bid.

Hampton became a municipality in 1861, carved from parts of McCandless, Indiana, and West Deer townships. Most of the township gets its mail through Allison Park, ZIP 15101, and our Allison Park water damage page covers the same streets. Hampton is one stop on every township and borough our crews cover, and the same trucks run flooded basement calls in Gibsonia and water cleanup downstream in Shaler Township.

Hampton is a Pine Creek town, almost entirely. The Pine Creek Watershed Coalition puts 93 percent of the township inside the creek's watershed, the biggest share of any of the 14 municipalities that drain to it. Pine Creek runs down through Hampton, picks up Little Pine Creek and Willow Run, and empties into the Allegheny River at Etna. The coalition calls its floodplains poorly drained. That is the low ground along Route 8, and that is where the water sits.

The coalition names two spots on the main stem of Pine Creek that flood again and again. One is in Shaler. The other is in Hampton. In 2012, Hampton had already bought about a dozen chronically flooded homes in lower Allison Park, west of Route 8 and south of Duncan Avenue, and planned to tear them down for a flood-control lake. In 2022, the township won a $344,000 state grant toward a $650,000 flood-control project at Wildwood-Sample Road, where the intersection floods in heavy rain and a bridge over Pine Creek has washed out twice.

Then there is the plant. The Allison Park sewage treatment plant, which serves most of Hampton, sits inside the Pine Creek floodway. The township's own upgrade page says the site floods yearly, interrupting treatment, so the new facilities are being built outside the floodway. When the creek can swamp the sewer plant, the sewer lines on the low streets are full too.

On September 17, 2004, the remnants of Hurricane Ivan dropped more than six inches of rain on this valley. A wall of water rose out of Pine Creek and flooded more than 400 homes and businesses in Etna alone, and Route 8 at Elfinwild in Shaler was under water. In September 2021, storms flooded the Wildwood-Sample intersection again. In September 2026, after what PennDOT called unprecedented storms, residents along Wildwood Road told CBS Pittsburgh about repeated flooding. One man had about eight inches of water in his garage in about thirty seconds.

The Census puts the median Hampton home at 1978, and more than 2,400 of the township's 7,463 homes were built before 1960. Those houses have original drain tile, block foundations, and old sump pumps. Winter finds the weak spots too. The January 24 and 25, 2026 storm came with forecasts of 10 to 14 inches of snow and warnings to winterize pipes, and our own reviews describe homes with burst pipes from it.

We run around the clock, weekends and holidays included. From Tarentum we head west, drop down to Route 8, and roll a truck with extraction and drying gear into Hampton. Allison Park, Mt. Royal Boulevard, Wildwood: all of it is a short run from our door.

Speed is physics, not a sales line. Water wicks up drywall by the hour and soaks into subfloor and framing. Pull it out fast and you save the material. Wait a day and you replace it. Mold can start in a day or two on wet drywall, so the short drive matters.

We do not pack up when the floor feels dry. We pack up when the meters say it is dry. We map the moisture first, including the water hiding behind finished basement walls and under floating floors. Then we extract the standing water with high-powered pumps, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and sanitize when the loss calls for it. A final inspection confirms the structure is back to safe moisture levels. A carpet can feel dry while the pad under it still reads wet, and that trapped water breeds the musty smell three weeks later.

If Pine Creek came through a window well, or a backed-up drain pushed up through the basement floor, treat it as dirty and stay out of it. Hampton's sewer lines share the creek's floodway, so a big storm can bring both at once. That calls for sewage backup cleanup for Hampton Township basements, and we show up with the right gear on the truck. If a loss sat wet before you found it, we handle the mold remediation too. Mold testing goes to a third-party hygienist.

We photograph and log the loss as we work, then bill your insurance company directly, which is the banner on the front of our website. Your policy and the cause of the loss decide what is covered. You still choose who does the work. It is your claim.
