Water Damage Restoration in Yarmouth Port, MA
Yarmouth Port is the north-side village, strung along Route 6A between Barnstable and Dennis. This is the oldest part of town, settled in 1639, and the houses show it: sea captains' homes from the 1700s and 1800s with horsehair plaster, fieldstone and brick foundations, and framing that has been damp for two centuries. Behind them, the streets toward Cape Cod Bay and toward Route 6 filled in with ranches and Capes in the 1950s through the 1970s.
The bay side floods differently from the sound side. Gray's Beach and the Bass Hole boardwalk sit on salt marsh, and the low streets around them take water on a big northeast tide. Full basements are more common here than in the rest of Yarmouth, and in sandy soil with a high water table they seep after every wet stretch. Ice dams hit the old low-pitched roofs every hard winter.
We connect Yarmouth Port homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider takes a look at the Yarmouth Port house and works out the scope from there.
Yarmouth Port water damage in a two-hundred-year-old house
An old house with water in a fieldstone basement after a nor'easter is a basement flooding cleanup job, and the block, stone, and dirt floor hold water long after the pump is done. A ceiling stain after an ice dam is roof leak water damage, with wet insulation in the knee walls to pull. Drying horsehair plaster and old pine without cracking it is structural drying done slowly and by the meter.
Permits for a two-hundred-year-old house in Yarmouth Port
Rebuild permits come from the Town of Yarmouth building department, and work on a house in the Old King's Highway historic district along Route 6A also goes to the historic committee for anything visible from the road. The Historical Society of Old Yarmouth on Route 6A keeps the record of how these houses were built, which is useful when the crew is trying to work out what is behind a wall.
