Most of the housing in South Boston 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 South Boston property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

We treat South Boston 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 South Boston as anywhere else in Suffolk County.

What We Look for in South Boston

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

  • Winter freeze-thaw cycles split uninsulated pipes in unheated basements, attics and rear porches of older wood-frame houses.
  • 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.
  • Renovated basements in South Boston 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 South Boston move water sideways as well as down, so a leak on one floor often shows up in the unit below.
  • Homes with a bulkhead or walk-out basement in South Boston take on water at the door long before the sump pump has anything to do.
  • Second-floor bathrooms and laundries in South Boston leak into ceilings below, and the damage is usually worse than the small stain suggests.
