Water Damage Restoration in Hampstead, NH

Hampstead is a town of ponds. Angle Pond, Island Pond, Wash Pond, and the northern end of Big Island Pond all sit inside its borders, and much of the housing started as summer camps along their shores that were winterized one at a time from the 1950s on. The rest of town is 1970s through 1990s colonials on the hills off Route 121 and Route 111, on wells and septic, with full basements and a sump pit in the corner.

The camps are the trouble in winter. A cottage on Island Pond that was built for July has pipes in a crawl space or an uninsulated wall, and the February 2023 cold, with lows in the minus twenties, split lines in houses whose owners had lived there year-round for decades. The hill houses have the spring problem instead. The ground is ledge and the water table rises with the melt, and in the Mother's Day storm of May 2006 and the April 2007 nor'easter sumps across Hampstead ran flat out and lost.

Hampstead water damage, at the pond and on the hill

A converted camp with a pipe that froze in the crawl space is a frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew looks under the house early. A hill colonial with an inch of groundwater across the finished basement is a basement flooding cleanup. Pine or oak floors that cupped after a slow leak under the sink are a hardwood floor drying question the meter answers.

Where to call in Hampstead

Rebuild permits come from the building department at the Town of Hampstead on Main Street. Some neighborhoods are served by a private water company and the rest are on wells, so the shutoff differs house to house.
