About Cambridge Water Damage Restoration
Water damage restoration for Cambridge, MA and the towns on its borders, water and sewage only, around the clock.
What the restoration team does
The restoration team handles one kind of emergency: water where it should not be. That means extracting standing water, removing what cannot be saved, drying the structure to the IICRC S500 standard and cleaning up sewage and storm water safely.
In Cambridge, that work runs through one of the oldest housing stocks in the country. Much of the city was built between about 1880 and 1930: wood-frame triple-deckers and two-families in North Cambridge, Cambridgeport and The Port, brick rowhouses and worker cottages in East Cambridge, and Victorian singles in Mid-Cambridge and West Cambridge. Most have plaster and lath walls, old-growth hardwood floors, steam or hot-water heat and fieldstone or brick foundations, and many are now split into stacked condos.
Every job follows the same order: moisture mapping, extraction, drying sized to the room, and daily readings until the materials reach the goal. The same readings and photos go into the file for your insurer.
