24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Saco, ME
From wind-driven rain to flash flooding, crews board up, extract, and dry the structure, then document everything for the claim. Storm and flood recovery starts with extraction and structural drying, then documenting the loss for an insurance or flood claim. Because floodwater carries soil and debris, affected porous materials are removed rather than dried, and the structure is re-checked as it dries.

Frequently asked questions
The house is on the beach side. Is river flooding still the issue?
Not the main one. The marsh and the barrier set the water table, and a northeaster raises both from the ocean side. River flood can add to it when the Saco is high against a storm tide, but a crawlspace on Kinney Shores can wet from below with the river behaving itself.
Why would a crawlspace smell damp in a week with no rain?
Because the marsh does not wait on rainfall. Tidal groundwater under peat stays high, and a crawlspace over that ground is sitting in a wet climate even when the weather is fair. Closing the vents to save heat in October then traps what the ground is already adding.
Is a mill-era house on this bank a different problem from a cottage?
Yes. The mill stock has basements in filled ground next to the channel; the cottages have shallow crawlspaces on sand. One fails from below-grade masonry, the other from wind-driven rain and a water table in the sand. Treating them as the same building type wastes the diagnosis.
