Common Emergencies in Greensboro

Greensboro is North Carolina's third-largest city in the NC Piedmont's Guilford County. Reedy Fork, North Buffalo Creek, and South Buffalo Creek flow through the city. Hurricane Florence (2018) dropped 20+ inches over the region, causing significant flooding throughout Guilford County. The city has extensive apartment and student housing stock from UNC Greensboro, A&T, and other colleges — creating maintenance-deferred rental plumbing conditions. Greensboro receives 45 inches of annual rain with occasional ice storms from Arctic systems that affect the Piedmont Triad.

  • North and South Buffalo Creek flooding during hurricane remnant events
  • Ice storm pipe bursts
  • Aging rental housing plumbing near university campuses
  • Stormwater flooding from flat Piedmont drainage
  • Roof damage from severe thunderstorm activity
