Water Damage Restoration in Historic Downtown
This is Greentown's oldest residential and commercial core, with homes dating to the town's incorporation boom of the 1870s,early 1900s; frame and brick two story homes in this area were built during Greentown's natural gas and glass manufacturing peak and most feature full basements with original galvanized or early copper plumbing at high risk for corrosion failure and pinhole leaks. The age of sewer laterals in this district is consistent with late 19th to early 20th century installation, raising the probability of root intrusion, collapsed clay tile lines, and sewer backups during heavy rain events when the municipal system is stressed.
We have served Historic Downtown / Meridian Street District homeowners through the full range of water emergencies, from burst pipes and basement flooding to mold remediation and sewage cleanup. Whatever the source, our Greentown crew responds 24/7 and works with your insurance carrier on approved claims.
Found Water on the Floor in Historic Downtown / Meridian Street District? What to Do in the First Hour
Start by finding where it's coming from and turning off that water. If you can't find the source in a few minutes, shut the main valve for the whole house and keep looking from there.
Watch the Ceiling
When water comes through a ceiling, look for sagging or bulging before you walk under it. A ceiling holding water can come down, so keep people out of that room and leave the light fixtures there switched off.
Shut Off the Main Valve
The main shutoff is usually where the water line comes into the house. Turn a round handle clockwise until it stops, or turn a lever handle a quarter turn so it sits across the pipe.
Lift Things Off the Floor
Move rugs and anything made of paper or fabric off the wet floor and into a dry room. Wood furniture can sit on squares of foil or plastic lids so the legs don't soak up water or stain the carpet.
Call From a Dry Spot
Make your calls from a dry room or from outside, away from the leak. Give us the address and a good number to reach you, and we'll get a crew headed to Historic Downtown / Meridian Street District.

The schedule starts with extraction and setup on the first visit, followed by return checks until every marked spot reads dry. How many checks it takes depends on the materials and how long they were wet.
Before the Crew Leaves
At the end of the first visit, the crew shows you what's running and where the readings were taken. Leave all of it on overnight, because EPA's mold guide ties mold prevention to drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours.
Watching the Air Too
Along with walls and floors, the crew checks the humidity in the room to make sure the dehumidifiers are keeping up. Material readings and air readings get recorded separately in the report.
When Equipment Comes Out
Air movers and dehumidifiers come out once the readings in each area show it's dry. The crew may pull equipment from one room while another keeps running.
Putting Rooms Back
Once the rooms are dry, the next step is repairs like new drywall or flooring where material came out. The photo report shows what was there before, which helps whoever plans that work.
