Water Damage Restoration in Chocorua, NH
Chocorua is the village of Tamworth that sits under Mount Chocorua, at the junction of Route 16 and Route 113, with Chocorua Lake spread out below the peak in the view that has been painted and photographed for 150 years. The lake shore was built up as a summer colony in the 1880s and 1890s, and those shingled cottages, along with the 1800s farmhouses along Route 113 and Page Hill Road, are the oldest housing in the village. Newer homes from the 1970s on fill the woods toward Tamworth village, on wells and septic.
The cold here is real. The village sits at 600 feet with the mountain drawing the air down at night, and lows in the minus twenties came on February 3 and 4, 2023. The summer cottages on the lake, closed and drained in a good year, freeze hard when an owner leaves the water on. The Chocorua River runs from the lake down to the Bearcamp, and it left its banks in the Patriots' Day nor'easter of April 2007 and the Mother's Day storm of May 2006, flooding Route 16 and the low cellars along the river. The December 2008 ice storm cut power to Tamworth for most of a week.

Chocorua water damage, under the mountain
A lakeside cottage with a pipe that let go in the thaw is a frozen pipe cleanup, and the crew builds the timeline before anything else. A farmhouse cellar with river water or groundwater across the floor is a basement flooding cleanup. A house that was pumped out but still smells damp needs structural drying with a dehumidifier in a cold room.
Permits through Tamworth, and who protects Chocorua Lake
Chocorua is part of Tamworth, and rebuild permits go through the building inspector at the Town of Tamworth. The lake and its shoreline are largely protected by the Chocorua Lake Conservancy, a land trust founded in 1968 that tracks the lake's level and water quality.
