Water Damage Restoration in Somerville, 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 Somerville, day or night.
- Sewage and storm water treated as contaminated, not just mopped up
- Photographs and moisture logs your adjuster can work from
- Ceiling, wall and floor leaks traced back to the source, not just dried

Somerville is known for its wood-frame triple-deckers, the three-family houses built for working families from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. That is why Somerville 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 Somerville the first question is always how far the water has travelled. Somerville is a densely built city of about 4.1 square miles on the west bank of the Mystic River, its landscape shaped by the drumlins known as the Seven Hills. 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 Assembly Square, Ball Square, Brickbottom and Clarendon Hill and the rest of the city — including properties around Davis Square, Union Square and Assembly Square. Coverage continues into Arlington, Boston, Cambridge, Everett and Medford.
How Water Gets Into Somerville Buildings
Local conditions we plan around on every job in Middlesex County.
- Somerville's wood-frame triple-deckers date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, so their drain and supply lines are often original.
- The city's hills drain toward the Mystic River floodplain, and strong storms send runoff into basement flats in East Somerville and Assembly Square.
- Somerville and the MWRA operate combined sewers, and CSO outfalls discharge to the Mystic River during heavy rain.
- Clay and cast-iron sewer laterals under century-old houses admit tree roots and crack, causing repeat backups at the lowest basement drain.
- Winter freeze-thaw cycles split uninsulated pipes in unheated basements and back porches across the city's three-family housing.

If Water Is Still Coming In
If water is still coming in at a Somerville 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 Somerville customers say
Reviews from customers in Somerville and nearby.
A slow leak behind the wall led to mold. Flood Damage Restoration found it with a thermal camera, contained the area, and remediated it properly. They tested afterward to confirm it was clean.
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.
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.
