Clog Heroes, Your Port Royal Plumber in a River Town From 1652
Plumbing, drain and sewer help in Port Royal, Caroline County, comes from Clog Heroes. Port Royal started in 1652 as a tobacco port on the south bank of the Rappahannock and was incorporated in 1744. The town sits about 30 feet above the river.
Clog Heroes looks after plumbing, drains and sewer lines in Port Royal homes today. The technician who comes is licensed and background-checked, and the price is written down for you before the repair starts.
200 Acres on the National Register
The Port Royal Historic District joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and covers about 200 acres. The Rappahannock bounds it on the north and U.S. Route 301 on the west.
Its 2020 update traces the town's significance from 1744 to 1970 and counts 47 contributing primary resources. St. Peter's Episcopal Church and the preserved Roy house chimneys are among them.
The town green has been held for public and civic use since 1744. The town hall and firehouse sit right beside it.
Town Water Since 1876 and Houses From 1955
Port Royal was early to modern comforts. The Town Council brought water to town in 1876 and invested in gas in 1883.
The town is still its own water provider. Caroline County's directory lists the Town of Port Royal by name, and charges on the county's Port Royal Water System application follow the town's code.
The houses are as seasoned as the streets. Port Royal's median home was built in 1955, about 84 percent of its 56 housing units predate 1980 and 43 percent predate 1950. Old plumbing like that rewards a technician who looks carefully first.
Getting here is easy. U.S. Route 17 runs northwest to Fredericksburg and southeast to Tappahannock, and U.S. Route 301 heads northeast to the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge.
