Old Bones by the River
New Albany is a city of about 37,652 in Floyd County, laid out in steep blocks above the Ohio River. Much of its housing dates to the 1800s, with stone foundations, original drain tile, and plumbing patched for generations.
When the river climbs, low streets near the floodwall feel it first. Up on the bluffs, heavy rain sheets downhill into basement windows.
Where Water Gets In
Historic masonry walls leak when mortar softens after long wet spells. Combined storm and sanitary sewers can surcharge during downpours, sending water up through basement drains. Freeze-thaw cycles work on old pipes the same way they work on brick, opening cracks that widen each winter.
- Ohio River flooding on low streets
- Combined sewer backups during heavy downpours
- Seepage through old stone and brick
- Burst galvanized and cast iron pipes

The process
From your first call to a dry, restored home
Here is the five-step sequence a local crew follows on a typical New Albany water damage job.
Call the 24/7 line
Describe the source, the rooms affected, and how long water has been present.
On-site assessment
Meters and thermal imaging find hidden saturation behind walls and under floors.
Water extraction
Standing water is pumped or vacuumed out of carpet, padding, and low spots.
Structural drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until moisture readings return to normal.
Cleanup and repair
Damaged materials are replaced and the area is cleaned and sanitized.
Protecting People First
Get everyone out of the flooded area and keep the power off until a technician confirms it is safe. Old homes can hide wiring.
- Avoid basements when water covers any outlets
- Wear gloves if you touch river or sewer water
- Do not stack wet items against plaster walls
- Leave built-in cabinetry closed until it is checked
- Call the 24/7 line before starting cleanup
Costs in Older Homes
Plaster, horsehair, and old framing absorb water differently than modern drywall, and those materials dry slowly. Replacing historic trim or hardwood can cost more than standard stock. Sewage contamination from combined lines adds cleanup and disposal steps to any estimate, and access through narrow stairwells slows the work.
- Historic material handling
- Sewage contamination
- Plaster and trim damage
- Basement stairwell access

FAQ
New Albany water damage questions
Does the Ohio River flood New Albany often?
The river reaches flood stage in some years, and low streets near the floodwall are most at risk. Rising water needs separate coverage.
Can a historic home be dried safely?
Yes, but it takes controlled airflow and lower heat than modern drywall jobs. Technicians monitor humidity closely so plaster and wood do not crack.
Are sewer backups common in older blocks?
Combined lines that carry storm water and sewage can surcharge during heavy rain, and basement floor drains often show backups first.
How much does emergency removal cost?
Small extraction jobs commonly start in the hundreds of dollars, while flooded historic basements with contamination run higher. Providers quote on site.
