Water Damage Restoration in Union Square, Somerville MA

Union Square is one of the districts we cover inside Somerville, Middlesex County. Water damage here follows the pattern of the wider city — somerville's wood-frame triple-deckers date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, so their drain and supply lines are often original. — and the response is the same at 3am as it is at midday.

What stands in Union Square is what stands across much of Somerville: 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. Water can travel a long way from where it entered before anyone notices it in a Union Square property, so we extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured reading and document everything for your insurance claim.

What we are called to in Union Square is rarely dramatic. A slow supply-line leak under a sink, a water heater letting go, a drain that backs up in the first heavy rain — damage that has usually been spreading for hours before anyone smells it.

What We Look for in Union Square

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

  • 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.
  • Sloped lots around Union Square push surface water toward foundations and bulkheads, so a blocked outside drain becomes a wet floor inside within a single storm.
  • Roof and ice-dam leaks in Union Square usually show up first as a stain on an upstairs ceiling, and only later as sodden insulation and a wet wall cavity.
  • Appliance failures — washing machines, dishwashers and water heaters — are behind a large share of the sudden indoor floods we are called to in Union Square.
  • Tree roots in a lateral line cause slow drains that back up in the first heavy rain across Union Square, and the water that comes back is not clean.
