What Fort Washington homeowners deal with
Fort Washington is served with the Silver Spring area. Census figures show 50% of homes were built before 1980 and only 9% are rented. Just 1% are in buildings with 5 or more units, against 31% across Prince George's County. Homes here are mostly single-family houses, many with basements.
Rain and runoff matter. Prince George's County logged 62 days with flash flood or flood reports from 2016 to 2025. FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly inland flood loss in Fort Washington at 50 per $100,000 of building value, above the county's 42. FEMA flood insurance records show 1.9 claims per 1,000 homes, with an average building payment of $11,056. When storm water enters a basement, flood damage restoration treats it as Category 3, and standard homeowners policies usually exclude it.
Inside, houses of that age have original water heaters, supply lines and drains. NOAA's climate normals show 80 nights a year at or below 32 degrees and 16 at or below 20. That is enough to split a line in an outside wall. Owners should test both the sump pump and the main shutoff before winter.
