Oxon Hill is a Potomac-side community in Prince George's County, near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. It has two ZIP codes, 20745 and 20750, and Brandywine Water Damage Restoration sends technicians from Brandywine to homes across the community.
A Potomac-side house has two kinds of water to worry about. The first is the ordinary pipe failure or the storm that overwhelms drainage. The second is tidal water from the river, which is a flood for the structure and is handled differently. The technician sorts out which one it is before the cleanup starts.

Today in Oxon Hill
Summer thunderstorms and tropical-storm remnants bring the short, intense flash floods that cause most of Prince George's County's flooding, and winter freezes bring the pipe breaks, so the season decides which water problems are most likely in Brandywine.
How does tidal flooding from the Potomac reach an Oxon Hill house?
The county's flood information records tidal flooding on the tidal Potomac. Tidal water rises and falls with the tide, so it can come into a low room without any rain on the house. It arrives from outside, carries silt and contamination, and usually reaches the lowest finished rooms first. The technician treats it as a flood for the structure, not as a clean supply-line leak.
Tidal water reaches some Oxon Hill lots and not others, so check the flood map and the lot's grade before assuming either way.
What about the storm pattern in Oxon Hill?
Most of the county's recent flooding has been flash flooding from intense local storms, which overwhelms drainage and usually happens outside the mapped floodplain. A Potomac-side lot can take that water as well as the river water, so the cause can be less obvious than the flood map suggests.

FAQ
Oxon Hill FAQs
Is tidal water from the Potomac covered by a standard homeowners policy?
Generally not. Flood is excluded from a standard policy, and tidal water is a form of flood. Flood coverage comes from an endorsement, a separate private policy or the National Flood Insurance Program. Ask your insurer which applies to your house.
Is tidal water cleaner than a burst pipe?
No. Water that came in from a tidal flood should be treated as contaminated, and porous materials it soaked are usually removed rather than saved.
Why did water come into my Oxon Hill house on a dry day?
A high tide on the Potomac can push water into a low room without rain, and groundwater can also seep in. Both are generally excluded from a standard policy, so record the date, the water line and the tide conditions if you can.
What should I do first if water is rising in the lowest room?
Move people out of that room, shut off power to it only if you can do so without standing in water, and move what you can lift. Then call (833) 490-5225.
