Water Damage Restoration in Mattapan, Boston MA

Mattapan 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.

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

The buildings in Mattapan are close together and often share a water table. Boston is a coastal city on Boston Harbor, an arm of Massachusetts Bay, with 46 percent of its area in water and much of its downtown built on filled tidal flats. 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 Mattapan

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

  • Boston Water and Sewer Commission operates a combined sewer system, so intense rain can push sewage and stormwater back into basements through floor drains.
  • Nor'easters and coastal storms drive surge into East Boston, Charlestown and the Seaport, flooding ground-floor units and below-grade utility rooms.
  • Second-floor bathrooms and laundries in Mattapan 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 Mattapan faster than the drainage can carry it away.
  • Water heaters and boilers at the end of their service life fail without warning, usually overnight or while a Mattapan building is empty.
  • Gutters that discharge next to the foundation put roof water straight into the Mattapan basement wall, where it stays.
