Ghent Cleanup and Restoration

Ghent’s Choice for Water and Fire Damage Restoration

Located in the western half of the city of Norfolk, sits the historic town Ghent. The town originated around 1890 on farmland outside of Norfolk that was originally called Pleasant Point. Most of its development is attributed to two Dutchmen, which is why you’ll find that it closely resembles the waterfront towns of South Holland. As of the 1920s, much of what is considered the main area of Ghent was completed, and has remained mostly unchanged since, leading to its place on the National Register of Historic Places due to a large portion of the original 1900s architecture still existing. Today, you could spend days walking the area in search of the many landmarks such as the Coca Cola plant, the Hauge Lake, and the Elizabeth River Trail. Norfolk’s major art museum the Chrysler Museum is also located in Ghent. The town is also home to Hampton Road’s largest medical complex, the Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

Unfortunately, despite all of its history, Ghent can still experience the woes of fire and water damages. Because of its location, Ghent is vulnerable to costal storms, and its low elevation can lead to flooding. While not as common as they are on the Gulf Coast, hurricanes still come through the area posing a risk to businesses and homeowners due to high winds and storm surges. However infrequent, the town does have access to 24/7 professional help with their water damage restoration needs through our team.

While the town’s wetter climate and humidity can help manage risks of wildfires, accidents can still happen, and residential and business fires can quickly cause serious interruptions to the daily lives of Ghent residents. Using a professional restoration service can greatly help reduce the amount of time it takes for businesses to reopen, homes to become livable again after a fire, and often help to prevent further secondary damages from happening.
