Water Damage Restoration in Arlington, MA

Arlington sits six miles northwest of Boston, bordered by the Mystic Lakes, the Mystic River and Alewife Brook, with Spy Pond, the Arlington Reservoir, Mill Brook and Hills Pond inside its 5.5 square miles; ground drops to about four feet above sea level along Alewife Brook and rises to 377 feet. Arlington's population grew by more than 90 percent during the 1920s, and much of its two-family, three-family and single-family housing dates from that pre-war building boom on small lots near the Center and East Arlington. We read moisture with meters rather than by touch, because the surface of a floor or ceiling is a poor guide to what is happening behind it.

On a call in Arlington the first question is always how far the water has travelled. Arlington sits six miles northwest of Boston, bordered by the Mystic Lakes, the Mystic River and Alewife Brook, with Spy Pond, the Arlington Reservoir, Mill Brook and Hills Pond inside its 5.5 square miles; ground drops to about four feet above sea level along Alewife Brook and rises to 377 feet. That is why we read moisture with meters rather than by touch: a floor that feels dry can be sitting on a soaked subfloor, and a ceiling stain is usually the last sign, not the first.

We are called to Arlington Center, Arlington Heights, East Arlington and Jason Heights and the rest of the city — including properties around Arlington Center, Spy Pond and Minuteman Bikeway. Coverage continues into Medford, Somerville, Cambridge, Lexington, Belmont and Winchester.
