Water Damage Restoration in Centerville, MA
Centerville is the largest of the seven Barnstable villages by population, and most of it was built between 1960 and 1990. The colonials, split-levels, and Capes off Old Stage Road, Phinney's Lane, and the shore of Wequaquet Lake sit on full basements more often than the rest of the Cape, which means groundwater and sump pumps are part of life here. Craigville Beach and Long Beach on Nantucket Sound hold the older cottages, and the Centerville River winds through salt marsh behind them.
The basements are the repeat problem. Sandy soil and a water table that rises after a wet winter push water through block walls and slab joints, and when a nor'easter takes the power out, the sump pump stops at the worst moment. On the shore, the Craigville cottages and the houses along the river take salt water on a storm tide, and the January 4, 2018 nor'easter put the sound into low lots all along this shore.
We connect Centerville homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You say what you found, and the provider takes it from there.
Centerville water damage, from the basement up
A finished basement with four inches of water after the pump quit is a basement flooding cleanup job, and the paneling and carpet hide most of what is wet. A water heater that let go in a utility room and ran across the slab needs water extraction. A Craigville cottage that took salt water is flood cleanup.
Where to call in Centerville
Centerville is a village of the Town of Barnstable, and rebuild permits come from the town building division in Hyannis. Water service comes from the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Water Department, in operation since 1938, which is who to call for a leak on the street side of the meter. The Centerville Historical Museum on Main Street has the record of the village's older houses, from the sea captains' homes to the Craigville camp meeting cottages.
