Water Damage Restoration in Truro, MA

Truro is the emptiest town on the Cape, with about two thousand year-round residents and a summer population many times that. The Pamet River cuts across the town from the bay almost to the ocean, and the village center sits in its valley. The houses are old Capes from the 1700s and 1800s along the river and on the hills, modest cottages from the 1950s and 1960s in the woods off Route 6, and newer houses on the bluffs. Most are seasonal, and the National Seashore owns much of the rest of the land.

The Pamet valley floods from both ends. The ocean has broken through the dune at Ballston Beach into the upper river more than once in winter storms, and the bay end floods at Corn Hill and the harbor on a northeast tide. The January 4, 2018 nor'easter flooded the harbormaster's office and reached the doors of houses at Cold Storage Beach. Hurricane Bob in 1991 recorded its strongest sustained wind on the Cape here. In winter, the empty houses freeze and run.

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

Truro water damage, an hour from anywhere

A frozen line in a house that was closed up in October and opened in April is frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew scopes it around the months the water ran. Salt water in a first floor in the Pamet valley or at the harbor is flood cleanup. A roof stripped by a winter gale is roof leak water damage inside once the roofer has it covered.

Wells, septic, and permits in Truro

Rebuild permits come from the Town of Truro building department, and most of the town is on private wells and Title 5 septic systems, so tell the crew whether the pump breaker has been shut off. Houses inside the National Seashore boundary have their own rebuild rules.
