My finished basement flooded. Does everything down there need to come out?

Not necessarily. Carpet padding that's soaked usually goes. Drywall wicks water up from the floor, so the bottom foot or two often gets cut. But flooring, trim, and the rest of the drywall can sometimes be dried and saved if we get to it fast. We tell you what's salvageable before we remove anything.

How fast can you reach Andover?

Usually well under an hour from our Lowell base. Andover's close, and we prioritize active water, so a flooding basement gets a crew moving right away.

Why do Andover claims seem to run higher?

Bigger homes and finished basements. There's more square footage to dry and more finished material below grade that water reaches first. We write the estimate to match what's actually damaged and bill your insurer directly.

Do you work with the major insurance carriers?

Yes. We've billed the big national carriers and the regional ones, and the process is the same: we document the damage, write the estimate to the adjuster's scope, and bill them directly. You mostly deal with your deductible.

There's been water in my basement before. Can you tell me why it keeps happening?

We can usually point to it: grading, gutters, a foundation crack, or a sump pump that isn't keeping up. Cleaning it up is step one. Telling you what to fix so it doesn't repeat is part of the job.

Water damage in Andover

Andover's housing runs from antique homes near the town center to newer subdivisions out toward West Andover, and a good share of it has a finished basement: a playroom, a home office, a spare bedroom downstairs. That's the part that hurts in a water loss. Finished space means drywall, flooring, and trim below grade, all of it sitting right where water collects first.

The Shawsheen River runs through town, and the Ballardvale area along it has dealt with high water before. Add a wet New England spring and the sump pumps working overtime in those finished basements, and you've got a town where the claims tend to run larger than the next town over. We size the job to what's actually there.

You mostly deal with your deductible, and we handle the back-and-forth. If your situation isn't covered, we'll tell you that straight too.
