Water Damage Restoration in Westwood, MA
Westwood was the western part of Dedham until 1897, and it stayed farms and estates until the 1950s, when the ranches and capes went in along High Street and around Islington. The 1960s and 1970s added colonials and splits on the wooded hills toward Dover and Norwood, and the 1980s and 1990s filled the rest with larger houses on large lots. University Station replaced the old industrial land by the Route 128 train station in the 2010s, and the town is now about 16,000 people with some of the higher home values in the county.
Westwood is hilly, and the hills are granite. Groundwater moving over ledge finds the low side of a foundation, and the neighborhoods along Purgatory Brook, Mill Brook, and the Neponset edge have basements in the water table in a wet spring. The 1950s houses in Islington have plumbing on exterior walls that the December 2022 and February 2023 cold found, and the newer colonials have bathrooms over garages that freeze the same way.
We connect Westwood homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Westwood water damage, downhill from the ledge
A finished basement that took groundwater at the uphill wall after a thaw is a basement flooding cleanup job. A supply line that let go in a second-floor bathroom over the family room is burst pipe water damage. A pipe that froze in a bathroom over the garage is frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew will meter the garage ceiling and the wall behind it.
The Dedham-Westwood Water District and the Westwood building desk
Westwood shares its water system with Dedham through the Dedham-Westwood Water District, which serves about 40,000 people from wells along the Neponset and Charles, and the district is the call for anything on the street side of the meter. Rebuild permits after a water loss go through the Building Department at the Carby Street Municipal Office Building, and Hale Reservation's 1,100 acres of woods and ponds on the Dover line are where much of the town's groundwater starts.
