Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Bath, 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 ways are dry. Why is the cellar wet anyway?
The ways are a floor over the river, not a wall against it. A cellar cut into ledge a street back still sits in the same water table the Kennebec holds up, and rubble footings pass that water whether the yard is launching a hull or not. Tide and freshet set the cellar; the shipyard only explains why the housing is here.
Does an October peak change what a frozen cellar does later?
It loads the cellar just before the ground locks. Water that October puts in the rubble is still there when ice forms in the joints, and frost then wedges those joints wider. The March freshet is the test of openings that were tighter in September, not a separate event.
Lime mortar on granite. Is that a moisture path or just old work?
Both. Lime takes water from the granite by capillary action and has no damp course to break the path. A brick wall bedded on ledge along this river is a wick from the day it was laid, and painting the inside face does not stop the granite from feeding it.
