Piscataway Cleanup and Restoration

Water and Fire Damage Cleanup for Walls and Fireplaces in Piscataway

Piscataway, Maryland, is one of the oldest European-colonized areas in the United States. After its formation in 1706, it flourished as a hub for the tobacco trade. Today, the small community is filled with historic homes and is preparing for further development.

The nearby Accokeek Creek Site, located just across from Mount Vernon, offers a unique glimpse into the region's past. This archaeological site, inhabited intermittently since 2000 BC, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964. It showcases Moyaone pottery and dwellings, among many other artifacts of regional indigenous history.

Fort Washington Park boasts a rich history dating back to the War of 1812. Originally constructed along the Potomac to defend the nation's capital as Fort Warburton, the original fort was destroyed by British troops, and a replacement was constructed in 1824 that stands to this day.

The Moyaone Reserve, adjacent to Piscataway Park, is as much a community hub as it is a showcase of conservation efforts. Established in the mid-20th century, this neighborhood emphasizes environmental preservation and features modernist architecture inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his contemporaries.
