Water Damage Restoration in Eastham, MA

Eastham is the gateway to the Outer Cape, a flat town between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic with Route 6 down the middle. The Cape Cod National Seashore covers the ocean side, and the houses are on the bay side and along the highway: 1700s and 1800s Capes near the old town center, and a wide spread of small ranches, cottages, and Capes built between 1950 and 1980 for summer, many on crawl spaces and plumbed for July. Well over half the housing is seasonal.

Until 2016 every house here was on a private well, and the town water system is still new. The bay side floods on a northeast tide: the January 4, 2018 nor'easter closed coastal roads in Eastham and put the bay into the low lots behind First Encounter Beach and Boat Meadow. The March 2018 storms took the stairs at Nauset Light Beach. In winter the empty cottages freeze, and the December 2022 and February 2023 cold snaps split pipes that ran until spring.

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

Eastham water damage in a town of summer houses

A pipe that froze in a closed-up cottage off Herring Brook Road is frozen pipe cleanup, and the timeline matters more than the puddle. Standing water under a cottage on the sandy ground needs crawl space water extraction. Salt water in a first floor on the bay side after a storm is flood cleanup.

Where to call in Eastham

Rebuild permits come from the Town of Eastham building department, and the town water department is who to call for a leak on the street side of the new meter. The Cape Cod National Seashore has its headquarters and Salt Pond Visitor Center here, and houses that predate the park inside its boundary have their own rules for any rebuild.

Call (508) 419-9161 now and tell us what you see. A local water damage provider serving Eastham takes it from there.
