Water Damage Restoration in North Truro, MA

North Truro is the last stretch before Provincetown, where the Cape narrows to a mile or two between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic. Highland Light stands on the ocean bluff, moved back from the edge in 1996 as the cliff fell away. Along the bay on Route 6A is Beach Point, a strip of cottage colonies and motels from the 1930s through the 1960s built on the sand between the road and the water, and the village center holds old Capes and 1950s cottages in the hollows.

Beach Point is the exposed part. The cottages sit at the level of the bay, and a northeast tide comes over the seawalls and under the buildings. In the January 4, 2018 nor'easter the bay reached house doors at Cold Storage Beach, a short way down the shore, and Beach Point sits lower still. Hurricane Bob in 1991 hit gusts of 125 miles an hour here. Almost every cottage on the point is closed for the winter, and the December 2022 and February 2023 cold snaps froze pipes that ran until the owners came back.

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

North Truro water damage, on the sand at Beach Point

Bay water under and inside a cottage colony unit after a storm tide is flood cleanup, handled as contaminated water, and the association needs written notice the same day. A frozen line in a closed-up cottage is frozen pipe cleanup. Drying a small cottage in the damp bay air is structural drying with heat, run by the meter.
