Most of the housing in Cambridgeport falls into the same category as the rest of Cambridge: cambridge took on much of its present character between 1850 and 1900, when streetcar development along the turnpikes filled the city with wood-frame houses and three-deckers around its squares. Water can travel a long way from where it entered before anyone notices it in a Cambridgeport property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

We treat Cambridgeport the way we treat the rest of Cambridge: measure first, then extract, then dry to a reading, then document. Insurers ask for the same evidence in Cambridgeport as anywhere else in Middlesex County.

What We Look for in Cambridgeport

Local conditions and the building faults behind most of the calls we take here.

  • Cambridge and the MWRA share combined sewers, so heavy rain can send sewage and stormwater back up through basement floor drains.
  • Alewife Brook and the Alewife Reservation drain a large upstream watershed, so prolonged rain keeps groundwater high against foundations near Fresh Pond.
  • Condominium and multi-unit buildings in Cambridgeport move water sideways as well as down, so a leak on one floor often shows up in the unit below.
  • Homes with a bulkhead or walk-out basement in Cambridgeport take on water at the door long before the sump pump has anything to do.
  • Second-floor bathrooms and laundries in Cambridgeport leak into ceilings below, and the damage is usually worse than the small stain suggests.
  • Street trees and older storm inlets mean the first heavy rain of a season often arrives in Cambridgeport faster than the drainage can carry it away.
