Lexington sits just off Monte Sano Ave in Augusta’s 30904 zip, where mid-century brick ranches and split-level homes back up to low-lying lots that collect runoff after heavy summer storms. Our crew based at 1407-B Monte Sano Ave reaches these streets within minutes, extracting water from finished basements and checking for hidden moisture behind original plaster walls before mold sets in during the long humid season.
Richmond County’s mild winters keep pipes from freezing but allow constant ground moisture to push against foundations on the rolling terrain around Lexington. We focus on drying the concrete slabs common in Wheeless Road homes and restoring hardwood floors that cup quickly when water sits under the house for even a day or two.
Homeowners along Lexington Court and adjacent side streets call us first because we know which alleys stay flooded longest after a downpour and how to route equipment around narrow driveways without damaging landscaping.

Water Damage Restoration in Lexington — Local Notes
- •Many Lexington homes built in the 1950s-60s have shallow crawlspaces that trap moisture year-round because of the area’s high water table and clay soils.
- •Summer humidity often turns small plumbing leaks into widespread ceiling damage inside the plaster-and-lath construction found on streets like Monte Sano and Hillcrest.
- •Driveways off Wheeless Road are frequently narrow and steep, so we stage dehumidifiers and air movers on the street and run short hoses to limit lawn damage.
- •Runoff from higher ground near Lake Aumond funnels directly into Lexington backyards, requiring extra perimeter drainage checks after every storm.
