Water Damage Restoration in Newington, NH
Newington is a small town with a very large footprint. Fewer than a thousand people live here, most of them in the old village near the 1712 meetinghouse or on the roads along Great Bay and the Piscataqua, while Pease International Tradeport and the Route 16 shopping strip fill the middle of town. The houses are a mix of 1700s and 1800s farmhouses on fieldstone cellars, mid-century capes and ranches, and newer homes built on the edges of the town forest, which the town has held since 1710.
Water here is coastal water. Great Bay and the Piscataqua are tidal, and the low ground near the shore has a water table that rises and falls with the tide and floods with the nor'easters. The Patriots' Day storm of April 2007 pushed the tide and the rain together, and basements along Fox Point and the bay side took water. The salt air corrodes copper fittings faster than inland, and the houses near the water lose supply lines in the cold. Much of the village is served by a public water system, so the shutoff is a curb valve, not a well breaker.
We connect Newington homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and explains what it needs.
Newington water damage, by the bay
A cellar that filled during a storm tide is a basement flooding cleanup, and the crew treats brackish water differently from groundwater. A fitting that corroded through and let go behind a wall is a burst pipe water damage call once the valve is closed. A house that still smells damp after the water is gone needs structural drying with a dehumidifier, because bay air does not dry anything.
Newington permits and the protected shoreline that floods
Rebuild permits go through the building inspector at the Town of Newington. The shoreline that floods is largely protected land, and the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge covers more than a thousand acres of the town's marsh and woodland along the eastern shore of the bay.
