Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Springfield

Our local pros provide water damage restoration services in Springfield and the surrounding area, including Pine Point, Bay, and East Forest Park. A Hampden County city behind a system of dikes along the Connecticut River, with a combined sewer serving a great deal of it.

Housing stock

Building in Springfield clusters in the early 1950s: the median unit dates to 1952, with 89.5 percent finished before 1990. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, close-set on full basements with floor drains connected to a pipe carrying storm water and waste together. The dikes address the river and nothing else.

Climate and water risk

October is the wettest month here at 5.16 inches, part of an annual 50.27 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from LUDLOW 2.3 SW, 2.4 miles off. October tops the year at over five inches out of fifty, and the events that count are coastal systems turning inland once the growing season has finished.

Common water damage problems in Springfield

  • Dikes that address the river and leave the city's own drainage to be lifted over them
  • Storm water and sewage in one pipe, defeated by rate rather than by total
  • Autumn systems arriving on soil that has stopped drawing anything down
  • Cellars whose floors sit below a main that fills during heavy rain

Frequently asked questions

The dike held and the basement still filled.

That is the normal result and it surprises people every time. With the outfalls shut, rain falling inside the protected area has no gravity route out and has to be lifted over by pump, and meanwhile the high river raises the water beneath the whole low ground. It arrives through floors and floor drains rather than over any bank. The dike stops the river; it does not stop the water.

The water came up out of the basement floor drain.

That is the main relieving itself through the lowest opening it is connected to, which in a house like this is that drain. What arrives is the street's water, not the ground's. Nothing done outside the building touches it, and the measures that do are a valve on the line or a rearrangement that puts the house's drainage above street level with a pump behind it.

Why does autumn do more damage than August?

Because of the state the ground is in when the rain arrives. By October the vegetation has stopped drawing water out, the profile stays full, and the heaviest single events of the year land on it. The same rainfall in August meets soil with room to spare and plants working hard. Timing accounts for far more of what happens in a cellar here than intensity does.
