ZIP code 19809 runs along the Delaware River northeast of the city: Edgemoor, the town of Bellefonte, Fox Point, Holly Oak, Penny Hill, the Bellevue State Park area and the neighborhoods along Philadelphia Pike and Governor Printz Boulevard.
Homes are a mix of 1920s–1950s bungalows and Cape Cods in Bellefonte, post-war ranches and split-levels, and newer townhomes. Many have basements or crawlspaces, and plenty still have original galvanized supply lines or water heaters tucked into tight utility spaces.
Sitting close to the river means more exposure to wind-driven rain from nor’easters and tropical storms, and a higher water table in the lowest spots. Storm-related roof and window leaks and damp basements are common calls.

What Causes Water Damage in Edgemoor, Bellefonte & Fox Point?
Nor’easter Wind & Rain
Wind off the Delaware drives rain sideways into siding seams, window frames and roof edges during coastal storms.
High Water Table
Low lots near the river stay saturated after storms, pushing groundwater into basements and crawlspaces.
Damp Crawlspaces
Older homes on crawlspaces collect humidity and condensation that lead to wood rot and mold.
Aging Supply Lines
Original galvanized pipe and older water heaters in bungalows and Cape Cods fail with age.
Bungalows, Cape Cods and Crawlspaces
Smaller older homes often have basements or crawlspaces that were never finished, with the furnace, water heater and laundry on the lowest level. When water gets in, the work is extraction, drying masonry and framing, and controlling humidity so the crawlspace or basement doesn’t become a mold problem.
