Cold weather is quite the culprit in New England. In many cases causing pipes to burst even while the homeowner is home! This pipe burst fortunately occurred in an unfinished basement. However it caused damage to the electrical and left about an inch of standing water. SERVPRO of Stoneham/ Wakefield used their specialized equipment to remove the water even hidden moisture.

A couple of months back we could not believe how many calls we were getting from our customers in regards to water in their basements! Almost all of them were due to sump pump failures. 

Sump pumps are installed as a means to help prevent a building structure from flooding and it channels the water away from the structure. 

Due to low table waters that rose quickly because of wet weather, many homeowners were surprised when their basement was flooded with water one moment and in the next the sump pump was working again and removing the water.

When storms hit the Wakefield area, we can scale our resources to handle a large storm or flooding disaster. We can access equipment and personnel from a network of over 1,650 Franchises across the country and elite Disaster Recovery Teams that are strategically located throughout the United States.
