Water Damage Restoration in Sharon, MA
Sharon was set off from Stoughton in 1765 and built around Lake Massapoag, a 353-acre kettle pond that gave the town its summer cottages in the early 1900s and its year-round lakefront neighborhoods after the war. The center along South Main Street keeps its 1800s houses. Around the lake and out toward Route 95 the housing is 1950s and 1960s ranches, splits, and colonials, then the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions with finished basements on the wooded hills toward Foxborough and Walpole.
Sharon sits high, and most of the town drains toward the Neponset on one side and the Canoe River on the other. The trouble is the ledge. Granite runs close to the surface across much of Sharon, and groundwater that cannot go down goes sideways, into a basement that had been dry for twenty years. The winterized lake cottages have shallow foundations close to the water table, and the March 2010 storms put water into many of them. Sharon is on town wells and almost entirely on septic.
We connect Sharon homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Sharon water damage, on the lake and on the ledge
A lakefront cottage that took groundwater under the floor after a thaw is a basement flooding cleanup job. A colonial on the hill whose sump pump lost power in a storm is sump pump failure cleanup. A supply line that froze in a three-season room someone closed in without heat is frozen pipe cleanup.
Where Sharon's groundwater starts, and who issues the permit
Mass Audubon's Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, its oldest and largest at 1,967 acres, sits on the high ground west of the center, and the red maple swamp on its boardwalk trail is where much of Sharon's groundwater starts. Rebuild permits after a water loss go through the Building Department at Town Hall on South Main Street, and the Water Department handles anything on the street side of the meter.

Services Available in Sharon
Water Extraction
Standing water pumped off a basement slab, a kitchen floor, or a finished lower level, then the first meter readings to see how far it spread.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run by the readings until sill plates, subfloor, and drywall come back to their dry target.
Basement Flooding Cleanup
Groundwater, a failed pump, or a spring thaw put water in the basement. The crew pumps it out and dries the finished walls and floor.
Sump Pump Failure Cleanup
The pit overflowed during a storm or an outage. Water is extracted and the carpet, framing, and stored belongings are checked and dried.

A supply line let go in a ceiling or wall. The rooms below and beside it are pumped out and dried once the water is shut off.
Frozen Pipe Cleanup
A pipe froze in a garage wall, an attic, or an unheated room and split. Cleanup covers everything the thaw soaked.
