Water Damage & Mold Restoration in Somerville, MA
When a pipe bursts in a Winter Hill triple-decker or a spring storm pushes water into a Union Square basement, Resto Boys is close by and ready. We provide 24/7 emergency water removal, structural drying, and mold remediation for homeowners, landlords, and property managers across Somerville — from Davis Square and Ball Square to East Somerville, Ten Hills, and the newer builds around Assembly Row. One short hop up from our Quincy base, we know these streets and the homes on them.
What makes Somerville homes different
Somerville is one of the most densely built cities in New England, and that shapes almost every water problem we see here. Much of the housing stock dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s — Victorian-era two- and three-family homes, wood-frame triple-deckers, and the historic residences around Spring Hill and Prospect Hill. These older buildings often sit on rubble-stone or fieldstone foundations with finished or semi-finished basements that were never designed to stay dry. When groundwater rises or a supply line lets go, that water travels fast through balloon-framed wall cavities and old-growth wood that soaks it up and holds it.
The tight lot lines matter too. Homes packed shoulder-to-shoulder mean shared walls, shallow side yards, and downspouts that discharge just feet from a neighbor's foundation, so a drainage issue next door can become your wet basement. Lower-lying areas near the Mystic River and around Ten Hills and Assembly Square carry their own moisture and flood considerations, while the hills — Winter Hill, Prospect Hill, Powder House Square — send runoff downslope during heavy New England rain and snowmelt. Add cold, humid basements and the region's freeze-thaw swings, and you have ideal conditions for hidden mold behind finished walls.
To be clear about what we do: we are a mitigation and remediation company, not a remodeler or roofer. If storm water or an ice dam finds its way inside, we handle the water removal, drying, and any resulting mold — we do not perform roofing, general remodeling, handyman work, or standalone rebuilding. Our job is to stop the damage from spreading and get your property dry, safe, and stable.
