Water Damage Restoration in Jamaica Plain, Boston MA

Jamaica Plain is one of the districts we cover inside Boston, Suffolk County. Water damage here follows the pattern of the wider city — roughly 46 percent of Boston's area is water, and much of the inner city was built on filled tidal flats where groundwater rises quickly. — and the response is the same at 3am as it is at midday.

Most of the housing in Jamaica Plain falls into the same category as the rest of Boston: boston's housing runs from 19th-century brick rowhouses in the Back Bay and South End to the wood-frame triple-deckers built in Dorchester, Roxbury and East Boston after those towns were annexed between 1868 and 1874. Water can travel a long way from where it entered before anyone notices it in a Jamaica Plain property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

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

What We Look for in Jamaica Plain

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

  • Nor'easters and coastal storms drive surge into East Boston, Charlestown and the Seaport, flooding ground-floor units and below-grade utility rooms.
  • Pre-1940 rowhouses and triple-deckers in Dorchester, Roxbury and East Boston often still carry original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply pipes.
  • Appliance failures — washing machines, dishwashers and water heaters — are behind a large share of the sudden indoor floods we are called to in Jamaica Plain.
  • Tree roots in a lateral line cause slow drains that back up in the first heavy rain across Jamaica Plain, and the water that comes back is not clean.
  • Renovated basements in Jamaica Plain hide the problem: moisture sits behind the new drywall, and the first sign is often a smell rather than a puddle.
  • Condominium and multi-unit buildings in Jamaica Plain move water sideways as well as down, so a leak on one floor often shows up in the unit below.
