About Annapolis Harbor Restoration
Your Local Water Damage Experts in Annapolis
Annapolis Harbor Restoration was founded by Michael 'Mike' Thompson, a lifelong resident of Anne Arundel County with deep roots in the Annapolis community. Mike started this company after seeing a clear need for a reliable, local water damage restoration service that truly understood the unique challenges faced by homeowners and businesses across Historic Annapolis, Eastport, and West Annapolis. Having grown up here, Mike knows firsthand how the humid subtropical climate, with its hot summers and cool winters, can impact properties, especially those charming, older homes in Murray Hill and near the City Dock. His vision was to build a team that not only restores properties but also provides peace of mind, operating with the integrity and local knowledge that only a true Annapolitan can offer.
What sets Annapolis Harbor Restoration apart is our commitment to the specific needs of our neighbors, from Parole to Admiral Heights. We understand that water damage isn't just about drying out a space; it's about preserving the character of a historic home near St. Anne's Church or protecting a family's investment in a modern property. Our approach is grounded in Mike's extensive experience as a Lead Restoration Specialist, ensuring that every job, big or small, receives meticulous attention. We pride ourselves on clear communication, upfront quotes, and workmanship you can inspect, ensuring you're informed and comfortable every step of the way. When unexpected water issues arise, whether from a burst pipe or a heavy rainstorm rolling in from the Chesapeake Bay, you'll find us ready to respond during our business hours, Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 9am to 2pm, right here from our base at 2576 Hidden Cove Rd, Annapolis.
Our team understands the local housing stock – from the brick foundations prevalent in older parts of Annapolis to the diverse construction styles found closer to the U.S. Naval Academy. We know that effective water damage restoration in this area often requires careful consideration of historical materials and the impact of the region's humidity on drying times. We're not a faceless corporation; we're your neighbors, dedicated to helping the community we share thrive. From emergency water removal to comprehensive restoration, we treat every property as if it were our own, ensuring a thorough and respectful recovery for homes and businesses across Annapolis and into the wider Anne Arundel County area, even for those who commute to nearby Baltimore.

Testimonials
What Annapolis, MD Customers Say
“We had a pipe burst in our upstairs bathroom during that cold snap last January. Water was coming through the ceiling into the living room. Annapolis Harbor Restoration was out within an hour. They quickly stopped the leak, then set up professional-grade dryers and dehumidifiers. They even helped us coordinate with our insurance. Our home was dry and back to normal in just a few days, with no lingering musty smell.”
“After a heavy rainstorm, our basement near Spa Creek started to flood a bit. We called Annapolis Harbor Restoration and they were incredibly responsive. They extracted all the standing water, removed the soaked carpet, and thoroughly dried out the space. They were very transparent about the whole process and what to expect. It really saved us from a much bigger headache.”
“A leaky water heater in our utility closet went unnoticed for a bit, causing significant water damage to the drywall and flooring. Annapolis Harbor Restoration came in, assessed the situation, and gave us a clear plan. They removed the damaged materials, dried everything out completely, and made sure there was no mold. The team was professional and kept us informed every step of the way, getting our home back in order efficiently.”
