Water Damage Restoration in Hull, MA
Hull is a seven-mile peninsula with the Atlantic on one side and Hingham Bay on the other, and at its narrowest points the town is a few hundred feet of sand between the two. Nantasket Beach drew the summer crowds from the 1800s on, and the housing is what that left behind: 1900s to 1930s beach cottages on small lots that have been winterized one at a time, 1950s ranches and capes on the higher ground of Allerton Hill and Telegraph Hill, and multi-family houses along Nantasket Avenue that started as boarding houses.
Hull floods. The Blizzard of February 6 and 7, 1978, sent the ocean across the peninsula, destroyed homes along the beach, and cut the town off for days, and it is still the storm people here measure by. On January 4, 2018, the record tide put water in homes across the low sections, and the March 2018 storms came back for more. A Hull basement is often a crawl space or a shallow cellar a few feet above sea level, and the water table under it moves with the tide.
We connect Hull homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Hull water damage, between the ocean and the bay
A cottage that took salt water over the sill on a storm tide is a basement flooding cleanup job, and everything porous the water touched comes out. A winterized cottage whose supply line froze under the floor during the February 2023 cold is frozen pipe cleanup. A shallow cellar that stays damp after every high tide needs structural drying, and the crew will tell you what can and cannot be finished down there.
Storm records and rebuild permits in Hull
The Hull Lifesaving Museum, founded in 1978 in the old Point Allerton lifesaving station, keeps the record of the wrecks and the storms, including the one that year that gave the museum its start. Rebuild permits after a water loss go through the Building Department at Town Hall on Atlantic Avenue, and the town's water comes through the Weir River system shared with Hingham.
