Water Damage Restoration in Madbury, NH

Madbury is a town of about 1,900 people wedged between Dover and Durham, and much of it is water. The Bellamy Reservoir, which supplies Portsmouth, fills the northern part of town, and the Bellamy River and its tributaries drain the rest toward Great Bay. The houses run from 1700s farmhouses on Route 108 and Route 155 to 1970s ranches on the Dover line to 1990s and 2000s colonials on the hills off Nute Road, nearly all on wells and septic with full basements.

The Bellamy is not a big river, but the ground around it is low and wet, and Madbury basements take groundwater every spring. The Mother's Day storm of May 2006 and the April 2007 nor'easter each put more than six inches of rain on the Seacoast, the reservoir spilled, and basements along the river roads filled from the floor up. The rest of the year the losses look like the rest of the region. A pipe freezes in a garage ceiling on a night like February 3, 2023. A water heater rusts through in a utility room next to a carpeted family room.

We connect Madbury homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider looks at the house and explains what it needs.

Madbury water damage, low ground and wet basements

A finished basement with groundwater across the carpet is a basement flooding cleanup. A tank that let go next to the family room is a water heater leak cleanup, and the water goes farther than the puddle. A basement that was pumped out but still reads wet at the bottom of the stud walls needs structural drying for several days.

Getting a Madbury rebuild permitted with no public water

Rebuild permits go through the building inspector at the Town of Madbury. There is no public water for Madbury homes. Shut the well pump off at the breaker if the valve is hard to find.
