Colonial Heights Cleanup and Restoration

When Water and Fire Damage Happen in Colonial Heights, We’re Here to Help

Nestled in the Tri-Cities area of Virginia, Colonial Heights is rich in history dating back to the colonial period. As with many of the areas in Central Virginia, the roots of Colonial Heights can be traced back to the first settlements by colonists. Originally part of the Henrico Citie, an area south of the James River was split from Henrico and became what is now known as Chesterfield County. Colonial Heights was a part of Chesterfield County for close to 200 years before in 1948 it was incorporated as a city. The name "Colonial Heights" results from an incident during the American Revolutionary War. French troops, known as the Coloniels, advanced south from Richmond and deployed artillery on the heights overlooking Petersburg from across the Appomattox River. The area thereafter came to be known as "Colonial Heights".  The area was also part of the main battlefields in Virginia during the civil war and still is home to some historical sites such as Fort Clifton and the Violet Bank. You can also visit the “Old Brick House” along the Appomattox River and see what is considered to be one of the oldest houses still standing, dating back to the 1600s. If you’re not much of a history buff, Colonial Heights is also home to the Southpark Mall, the premier shopping destination for the Tri-Cities area with more than 80 different stores.
