Emergency Restoration for Bon Air's Historic Homes and Wooded Streets

Bon Air's historic homes and mature tree canopy create specific restoration challenges when severe weather hits. On June 19, 2025, a large tree crashed into a home on Pinetta Drive, destroying the living room as nearly 90,000 homes and businesses across Central Virginia lost power. Severe thunderstorms have also caused a large leak and thousands of dollars in damage at the historic Bates-Powers House on Buford Road, built in 1888. In July 2016, two trees fell onto a home on Whittington Drive. Heavy rain can also flood Old Bon Air Road at Rockaway Road and Powhite Parkway near the Forest Hill exit. These risks make prompt emergency restoration services essential when storms damage local properties.
