Flooded basement cleanup in Eastport, MD includes tide water, because the City of Annapolis names Eastport as a coastal flooding location. The city's 2023 hazard plan marks 3 at-risk concentrations here: the Maritime Museum area, Horn Point Park, and Severn Avenue.

NOAA's Annapolis gauge logged 25 minor and 2 moderate high tide flood days in calendar year 2024. The water source changes your cleanup and your claim, since the IICRC S500 lists seawater flooding as a Category 3 example. Your call to a local restoration company starts with whether your water came with a high tide, a rain storm, or a plumbing failure.

Eastport Shoreline and Storm Water Situations

These 3 situations tie your Eastport basement to a water path.

Basement situation	What your restoration company does
Tide water near Severn Avenue or Horn Point Park	The IICRC lists seawater flooding as Category 3, so your restoration company sets the category and records the water line for your claim.
September rain with no tide event, in the wettest month at the Annapolis NAF station (5.14 inches)	Your restoration company sets the category from the source, as covered in Basement Flooding After Heavy Rain, then starts Basement Drying and Dehumidification after extraction.
Carpet and pad soaked by tide water in a finished lower level	Your restoration company removes porous materials that Category 3 water touched, per Northwestern University's water intrusion guide, and lists each one for your agent.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Tide Water in an Eastport Basement?

No, homeowners insurance excludes flood, and Triple-I says a separate flood policy carries a 30-day wait. Tide water fits the NFIP flood definition when it inundates 2 or more acres or 2 or more properties. Your restoration company documents the water line and the source, so ask what photos your agent wants.

Eastport Repairs and the City Permit Office

Your Eastport repairs go to the City of Annapolis Department of Planning and Zoning, and applications run through its Citizen Self Service portal. City limits, not the mailing ZIP, set that office's reach, and the 2020 Census file puts 36.7% of the land in 21403 inside them. The rest lies in Annapolis Neck and Highland Beach.

City Code chapter 17.11 governs development and new construction in the city floodplain, per the city's floodplain page. Ask your restoration company to confirm your address against city limits. Ask whether your written estimate separates cleanup from repairs that take a building or trade permit.

Ask a restoration company about tide water, flood policy documents, and city permits for your Eastport basement.

Is Tide Water in an Eastport Basement Category 3?

Yes, the IICRC S500 consensus statement lists all forms of flooding from seawater as Category 3 examples. The January 9 to 10, 2024 coastal flood crested at 5.1 feet above mean lower low water, third highest on record at Annapolis. Your restoration company uses contamination controls before drying, so ask how it handles your porous materials.

What Does an NFIP Policy Leave Out of an Eastport Basement?

An NFIP policy leaves out basement contents beyond air conditioning units, clothes washers and dryers, and food freezers, per 44 CFR Part 61. Its basement building list names items installed in place, such as drywall, furnaces, and water heaters. Ask your restoration company on the call whether it inventories each item against that list.

Questions Before You Call

Which High Tide Flood Counts Does the Annapolis Gauge Record?

NOAA counted 14 minor flood days in the 2023 meteorological year, 15 in 2024, and 9 minor plus 1 moderate in 2025 at station 8575512. Its outlook for 2026 runs 15 to 19 days. Tell your restoration company the date your water arrived.

Is the 53.5% Basement Share Specific to Eastport?

No, the 53.5% figure counts residential buildings in the city part of the ZIP code, and that area is wider than Eastport. We hold no Eastport-only count. Your restoration company checks your lower level at inspection, so describe the floor level and finish on the call.

Does the City Take Reports of Tidal Flooding?

Yes, the City of Annapolis Submit a Problem form lists Flooding Tidal as its own category, next to Flooding/Storm Water. That report reaches the city, not your insurer. Your restoration company documents the basement separately, so keep the two records apart.

The facts on this page come from 30 public documents, among them records from Anne Arundel County, MD Dept. of Planning / SDAT (MD iMAP), and City of Annapolis. The basement facts and their sources page lists each one with its check date.
