Water Damage Restoration in Brewster, MA
Brewster faces Cape Cod Bay along eight miles of Route 6A, and the sea captains' houses that line the road gave it the name the Sea Captains' Town. The oldest go back to the 1700s, with fieldstone cellars, horsehair plaster, and wide pine floors. Behind them, from the 1960s on, the woods around the ponds filled with Capes and contemporaries, many on full basements, and the 1,900 acres of Nickerson State Park hold the middle of town.
The bay flats run out a mile at low tide, and a northeast storm tide comes back over them fast. The January 4, 2018 nor'easter brought the bay over beach roads all along Route 6A, and Hurricane Bob in August 1991 hit gusts of 125 miles an hour here and stripped roofs across town. Inland, the pond-side lots sit on a water table that rises every spring and seeps into cellars, and the old low-pitched roofs grow ice dams.
We connect Brewster homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Brewster water damage in the Sea Captains' Town
Water in a fieldstone cellar after a spring thaw is basement flooding cleanup, and stone holds water long after the pump is done. A ceiling stain after an ice dam or a bay storm is roof leak water damage. Drying old plaster and pine without cracking it is structural drying done by the meter.
Rebuilding along 6A in Brewster after the drying
Rebuild permits come from the Town of Brewster building department, and work on a house in the Old King's Highway district along 6A also goes to the historic committee. Nickerson State Park fills the center of town with kettle ponds, and the houses around its edges share the same groundwater that fills those ponds.
