Water Damage Restoration in Medfield, MA
Medfield was set off from Dedham in 1651, and its center along Main Street and North Street is one of the better-preserved 1700s and 1800s villages in the county, with the Peak House of 1711 still standing after the town was burned in King Philip's War. The Charles River forms the whole western edge, and the Medfield State Hospital campus sat on the bluff above it from 1896 to 2003. The housing beyond the center is 1950s capes and ranches, 1960s and 1970s colonials, and 1980s and 1990s subdivisions with finished basements on the higher ground toward Dover and Walpole.
The river meadows below the hospital are the flood plain for the whole upper Charles, and they are supposed to fill. The trouble comes when the water table under the nearby neighborhoods rises with them. March 2010 put groundwater into basements along the river side of town for weeks, and the low streets near Vine Lake and the Stop River see it in smaller doses most springs. Medfield is on town wells and mostly septic.

Medfield water damage, from the river meadows in
A finished basement that took groundwater through the slab in a wet spring is a basement flooding cleanup job. A 1950s cape whose sump pit overflowed when the power went out is sump pump failure cleanup. A supply line that pinholed inside a wall of a 1700s house that has been replumbed for two centuries is a job for leak detection first.
