Gaithersburg is drained by Seneca Creek and its tributary Little Seneca Creek, which flow through Seneca Creek State Park before converging toward the Potomac River, creating flash flood risk during heavy rain events. The city's developed western sections have increased impervious cover over historically absorbent Piedmont soils, amplifying peak flows in the Seneca Creek channel. Maryland's Mid-Atlantic climate produces intense convective storms in summer and ice storms in winter that stress both roofing and plumbing systems.
