24/7 emergency service
Your first move after water gets into a Chapel Hill home is to throw open the windows. In a humid Piedmont summer, that pulls more moisture in, and damp air feeds mold in carpet pad and drywall within days. Keep the windows shut, run the AC, and get a crew in with real drying equipment.
Where we work in Chapel Hill
Home baseChapel Hill sits at the western edge of our regular service area, a drive up US-64 and US-15-501 from our base. Emergency response is round the clock with a 60-minute target, and the arrival estimate you get on the phone is an honest one. Zips 27514, 27516 and 27517 are all covered, for homeowners and landlords alike. The inspection costs nothing, and we can walk a rental with the owner or the property manager.

Chapel Hill houses and weather
Chapel Hill gets the same humid summers and hurricane-season downpours as the rest of the Triangle, but the hills change where the water goes. From August through October, remnant storms and afternoon thunderstorms push runoff downhill into walk-out basements and split levels in Coker Hills, Lake Forest and Greenwood, which have more below-grade space than most of the area.
Near campus, 1920s to 1950s houses sit on vented crawl spaces that stay damp all summer, and mold on crawl space framing is a steady result.
Heavy rental turnover adds its own pattern: slow leaks nobody reports until a unit empties.
Townhome communities with shared plumbing lines can put one unit's leak into the next.
What we do in Chapel Hill
That is where ProWorks Restoration starts. Our water damage cleanup and drying covers extraction, structural drying with daily readings and full documentation, whether the water came from a storm, a supply line or the unit upstairs.
Extraction, drying and documentation for burst pipes, appliance leaks, toilet overflows and flooded crawl spaces.

Rental turnovers often uncover growth behind furniture or under a sink. We contain it, cut out what the growth reached and fix the moisture behind it, with testing done independently when you want it.
Bolin Creek and Morgan Creek flood during heavy rain, and hillside lots send runoff straight into lower levels. Our flood damage cleanup extracts, removes contaminated materials and disinfects before drying.
Category 3 water from sewer and septic backups: containment, removal, disinfection and drying.
We dry out the water left behind by firefighting. Board-up, soot, odor and contents work are not services we do in house.

FAQ
Do you work with landlords and property managers in Chapel Hill?
We do, and we can coordinate access with tenants. The documentation goes to whoever holds the insurance policy.
My walk-out basement took on water in a storm. Is that covered?
Rain through storm damage is usually a homeowner claim, while rising water from outside usually needs flood coverage. We document the source so the right claim gets filed.
How long does drying take in an older Chapel Hill house?
It depends on the materials, and plaster and old hardwood take longer than drywall. We take readings daily and pull equipment only when they hit dry standard.
Can you test for mold after the work?
Testing is done by an independent inspector, not by us, so the result is not graded by the people who did the work. We handle the remediation and drying.
Do you cover Carrboro too?
Carrboro is inside the same regular area as Chapel Hill. Call (910) 606-6161 and you get the same process and response target.
The hardest part is the first call, and after that we take it from there. Call (910) 606-6161 for a free inspection and moisture reading.
