Water Damage Restoration in Harwich Port, MA

Harwich Port is the town's harbor village on Nantucket Sound. Wychmere Harbor and Saquatucket Harbor sit at its center, with the Nantucket ferry leaving from Saquatucket in summer, and the houses along Route 28 and the shore roads are a mix of 1800s captains' homes, shingled summer houses from the early 1900s, and 1950s cottages near Bank Street Beach and Red River Beach. Many are still summer houses.

The harbors take a southerly storm head-on. The January 4, 2018 nor'easter brought coastal flooding to the whole Nantucket Sound shore, and a hard southeast blow puts the sound into the same yards every few winters. Closed-up summer houses froze in the December 2022 and February 2023 cold snaps, and the caretaker found the water a week later. Crawl spaces on the sandy ground stay damp into June.

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

Harwich Port water damage, harbor side

Salt water in a first floor or a boathouse after a storm tide is flood cleanup, handled as contaminated water. A frozen line in a summer house with the heat set low is frozen pipe cleanup. The rugs, furniture, and books that fill a family summer house are handled as content restoration, with a written list of what went where.
