Water Damage Restoration in Lee, NH
Lee sits between Durham and Route 125, close enough to the University of New Hampshire that many of its houses were built for faculty and staff. The housing is a mix of 1700s and 1800s farmhouses along Route 155 and Lee Hook Road, 1960s and 1970s ranches and capes near the Durham line, and 1990s and 2000s colonials on the wooded lots off Route 152. Almost every house is on a well and septic, and almost every one has a basement.
The Lamprey River runs along the south side of town and is one of the flood rivers of New Hampshire. It went far over its banks in the Mother's Day storm of May 2006, when more than eight inches of rain fell in three days, and again in the Patriots' Day nor'easter of April 2007. Houses along Wadleigh Falls Road and near Wheelwright Pond took water both years. Away from the river, the water table rises with the melt and comes into basements through the slab joint, and the sump pump runs for two months straight.
We connect Lee homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Lee water damage, along the Lamprey
A basement that took river water or groundwater in a spring storm is a basement flooding cleanup, and outside water is handled with more care than a pipe leak. A pump that quit in the middle of the storm is a sump pump failure cleanup. A farmhouse pipe that split in an outside wall on a subzero night is a frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew wants to know how long it ran.
Where to call in Lee
Rebuilds that touch framing, plumbing, or wiring go through the building inspector at the Town of Lee offices on Mast Road. Lee has no public water. The shutoff is the well pump breaker.
