Water Damage Restoration in Lexington, MA

A burst pipe, a failed water heater, a backed-up drain or storm water through a foundation — the response is the same for all of them: get the water out, dry the structure to a measured reading, and document the damage for the claim. That is what we do in Lexington, day or night.

  • Flooded basements, burst pipes, sewage backups and storm water
  • Extraction, structural drying and moisture readings on every visit
  • Damage documented for your insurance claim

Lexington's housing ranges from 17th- and 18th-century farmhouses around the Battle Green and Lexington Center to the suburban development that accelerated in the early 20th century and after 1945. That is why Lexington jobs are rarely just wet carpet: water travels into wall cavities, under finished flooring and behind basement drywall, and it stays there after the surface feels dry.

On a call in Lexington the first question is always how far the water has travelled. Lexington is a Middlesex County suburb about 10 miles northwest of downtown Boston, with 16.4 square miles of land and only about 0.1 square miles of water. 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 Lexington Center, East Lexington, North Lexington and Meriam Hill — including properties around Lexington Battle Green, Minute Man National Historical Park and Buckman Tavern. Coverage continues into Burlington, Woburn, Arlington, Belmont, Bedford and Winchester.

How Water Gets Into Lexington Buildings

Local conditions we plan around on every job in Middlesex County.

  • Lexington's brooks drain to the Cambridge Reservoir and surrounding wetlands, so heavy rain backs water up into low yards and cellars along those corridors.
  • Houses in Lexington Center, East Lexington and North Lexington sit on old stone and brick foundations where groundwater is often the first source of basement water.
  • Freeze-thaw cycles split supply lines in the unheated basements and crawl spaces of prewar houses, a common cause of sudden indoor flooding.
  • Ice dams at the eaves of older roofs send snowmelt down inside finished walls and ceilings each February and March.

If Water Is Still Coming In

If water is still coming in at a Lexington property, stop the source at the main valve if you can reach it safely, keep out of any room where water is near outlets or a fuse box, and photograph everything before you move it. Then call — the sooner extraction starts, the more of the building can be dried instead of replaced.

What Lexington customers say

Reviews from customers in Lexington and nearby.

I was overwhelmed by the insurance process. Flood Damage Restoration documented everything with photos and moisture readings. Our claim was approved quickly.

Julie B.Lexington, MAInsurance claim

I called three restoration companies. Flood Damage Restoration was the only one that answered at 11 p.m. They came out that night, gave us an honest estimate, and didn’t try to upsell us. The crew was respectful and cleaned up better than they found it.

James P.Boston, MAEmergency response

Our basement flooded at 2 a.m. after a pipe burst. Flood Damage Restoration answered on the first ring and had a crew at our house in under an hour. They extracted the water, set up drying equipment, and explained every step. By morning, the situation was under control. I can’t recommend them enough.
