Technicians use submersible pumps to clear deep flood water from Allston basements and lower levels, followed by extraction tools to pull remaining moisture from carpets and underlayment so drying can begin.
The team removes porous materials like soaked drywall and insulation contaminated by flood water. They clean mud and silt from hard surfaces, preparing the area for the drying process.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the slab and framing, with moisture readings tracked daily. Once dry, surfaces are treated with antimicrobials against storm water contamination before restoration.

These stacked homes mean water from a burst line or a saturated basement often spreads across several floors, requiring a thorough, coordinated response. In Allston, MA, century-old plumbing in tight buildings fails during hard freezes, and full basements below grade take on water during heavy coastal rains. Stacked units mean one leak floods several floors, keeping storm flood cleanup crews busy across the neighborhood.
