Water Damage Restoration in Cotuit, MA

Cotuit is the quiet village at the southwest corner of Barnstable, on a peninsula between Cotuit Bay and Popponesset Bay. Main Street is lined with sea captains' houses from the 1800s, and the shore roads toward Loop Beach and Oregon Beach hold shingled summer houses from the early 1900s. Newer Capes and ranches fill the woods toward Santuit and Route 28. Most of the shore houses are still seasonal.

The bays are shallow and the land is low. A storm tide on Nantucket Sound comes up through Cotuit Bay into the yards along Ocean View Avenue and the boat basin, and the January 4, 2018 nor'easter put water in low lots all along Nantucket Sound. In winter, the houses that were built for July freeze when the heat is set low, and the water runs until the caretaker's next visit. Crawl spaces on the sandy ground stay damp all spring.

We connect Cotuit homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You describe the problem, and the provider decides what to look at first.

Cotuit water damage, bay side and wall side

A frozen line in a closed-up shore house is frozen pipe cleanup, and the timeline matters more than the puddle. Salt water in a first floor after a storm tide is flood cleanup, handled as contaminated water. Standing water under an old house after a wet winter needs crawl space water extraction.

Getting a Cotuit house dried and permitted

Cotuit is a village of the Town of Barnstable, and rebuild permits go through the town building division in Hyannis. Water comes from the Cotuit Fire District's water department. The Historical Society of Santuit and Cotuit, at work since 1955, keeps the record of the village's houses and the storms that have reached them.
