Bungalows at 90-plus years
College Park's bungalows are loved for their porches and details, but most have been through several rounds of plumbing repairs. We commonly find original cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines and newer repairs joined together, and those joints fail. Some older homes are on raised foundations with crawlspaces, where a leak soaks framing out of sight. Drying these houses means working underneath as well as inside.
Small lakes, big storms
Lake Ivanhoe, Lake Adair and the neighborhood's smaller lakes collect runoff from the surrounding streets. In major rain events like Hurricane Ian, lake levels rose and low lots near the water saw yards flood and water approach homes. Streets that drain toward the lakes can pond during heavy afternoon storms. Knowing your elevation and flood designation helps when choosing coverage.
Teardowns and new builds
College Park has seen many older homes replaced with larger new ones. New construction next door can change how water drains across your lot, especially if grading or impervious surfaces shift runoff toward your house. If water starts reaching a foundation or crawlspace where it never did before, a new neighbor's drainage may be the cause. We document what we find, which can help if you need to raise it with the neighbor or the city.
