In East Cambridge the buildings follow the Cambridge pattern: 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 East Cambridge property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

The buildings in East Cambridge are close together and often share a water table. Cambridge lies directly across the Charles River from Boston, with 9.8 percent of its area in water and the river forming its southern and eastern boundary. When one basement pumps out, it does not change the water sitting under the next one along — which is why a street can flood twice in the same week.

What We Look for in East Cambridge

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

  • Cambridge sits directly across the Charles River from Boston, and riverside blocks in Cambridgeport and Riverside flood when the river rises.
  • Between 1850 and 1900 the city built out along its streetcar lines, leaving dense wood-frame houses and three-deckers with original plumbing.
  • Gutters that discharge next to the foundation put roof water straight into the East Cambridge basement wall, where it stays.
  • In East Cambridge, homes on the same street often share the same failure points: original supply lines, clay or cast-iron drains, and basements finished decades after the house was built.
  • Sloped lots around East Cambridge push surface water toward foundations and bulkheads, so a blocked outside drain becomes a wet floor inside within a single storm.
  • Roof and ice-dam leaks in East Cambridge usually show up first as a stain on an upstairs ceiling, and only later as sodden insulation and a wet wall cavity.
