Water Damage Restoration in Hyannis Port, MA
Hyannis Port is the small village south of Hyannis that the Kennedy family made famous. The big shingled summer houses along the harbor and out on Squaw Island date from the 1880s through the 1920s, when Boston and New York families built here for the season, and most of them are still summer houses. Behind them are smaller Capes and ranches from the 1950s and 1960s. Almost everything sits within a few blocks of the water.
Hyannis Harbor and Nantucket Sound wrap the village on two sides, with the long stone breakwater at the harbor mouth taking the brunt of a southerly storm. The January 4, 2018 nor'easter brought coastal flooding to the whole south shore of Barnstable, and a hard southeast blow pushes water into the same low yards every few winters. Century-old houses that are closed up from October to May freeze like any other, and the water runs longer because the caretaker comes once a week.
We connect Hyannis Port homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Hyannis Port water damage in a house built for July
A supply line that froze in a shingled summer house with the heat set low is frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew works out how long it ran before anything else. Salt water in a ground floor or a boathouse after a storm tide is flood cleanup. Drying old plaster, wide pine floors, and the furniture and rugs that fill these houses is structural drying and content restoration done slowly and by the meter.
Reaching someone for a Hyannis Port house in the off-season
Hyannis Port is part of the Town of Barnstable, and rebuild permits go through the town building division in Hyannis. The JFK Hyannis Museum on Main Street in Hyannis tells the story of the family and the village in the years when these houses were built, and the photos show how close to the water they always were.
