Water Damage Restoration in Mashpee, MA

Mashpee is the Wampanoag town, and for most of its history it was the least built-up town on the Cape. That changed after 1960, when New Seabury opened on the Nantucket Sound shore with villages of single-family homes, condominiums, and waterfront cottages around Popponesset Bay. Mashpee Commons followed in 1986. The result is a town of mostly 1960s-to-1990s housing: Capes, contemporaries, and condominiums on sandy lots around the bays, the ponds, and the Mashpee River.

The bays are the exposure. Hurricane Bob on August 19, 1991 drove a storm surge of twelve to fifteen feet into Mashpee, Bourne, and Onset at the head of Buzzards Bay, the highest anywhere in the storm, and it filled first floors at Popponesset and New Seabury. The January 4, 2018 nor'easter flooded the same low roads. New Seabury is heavily seasonal, and the December 2022 and February 2023 cold snaps froze pipes in units that nobody opened until spring.

We connect Mashpee homeowners and unit owners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.

Mashpee water damage, from the bay and the empty unit

Salt water in a first floor at Popponesset or New Seabury after a storm is flood cleanup, and the association needs written notice the same day. A frozen line in a seasonal condominium is frozen pipe cleanup, and the water may have reached the unit below. A washer hose or a water heater that let go across a first floor needs water extraction.

Permits and the conservation commission in Mashpee

Rebuild permits come from the Town of Mashpee building department, and anything in the coastal flood zone also goes to the conservation commission. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, with about 3,200 enrolled citizens, has its government center and reservation land here, and tribal housing follows its own permitting.
