McIntire Historic District shares Salem's housing mix — salem has one of the oldest housing stocks in the country, with 17th- to 19th-century wood-frame houses in the McIntire, Federal Street and Charter Street districts and later infill in North and South Salem. Water can travel a long way from where it entered before anyone notices it in a McIntire Historic District property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

Access matters as much as equipment in McIntire Historic District. Narrow streets, shared driveways and basement flats mean the hose runs and the drying layout have to be planned on arrival rather than assumed.

What We Look for in McIntire Historic District

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

  • The inlet to the North River and the Forest River carry runoff from the city's north and south ends into the harbor.
  • Salem's 17th- to 19th-century houses in the McIntire and Federal Street districts have stone or brick foundations, cellar flats and old drains that leak in wet weather.
  • Water heaters and boilers at the end of their service life fail without warning, usually overnight or while a McIntire Historic District building is empty.
  • Gutters that discharge next to the foundation put roof water straight into the McIntire Historic District basement wall, where it stays.
  • In McIntire Historic District, 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 McIntire Historic District push surface water toward foundations and bulkheads, so a blocked outside drain becomes a wet floor inside within a single storm.
