As thermometers drops and days grow shorter, Wellesley homeowners begin to settle in for the cozy winter months ahead. However, amidst the anticipation of snowflakes and hot cocoa, there is a less cheerful winter tradition that many overlook: burst pipes and other seasonal water damage. This is where our team at SERVPRO Framingham steps in. You can count on our water damage remediation team to make your home warm and dry again, following such unfortunate circumstances.
Understanding the Risk
In Wellesley, as in many parts of New England, the winter brings with it frigid temperatures. This seasonal change can be particularly harsh on your plumbing. Water inside your pipes can freeze, and as it does, it expands, leading to cracks or even burst pipes. The aftermath? Significant water damage that can affect your home’s structural integrity, ruin your precious belongings and even pose health hazards due to mold growth. But don’t worry. Our team at SERVPRO Framingham is here to help.

Because we live and work in the region ourselves, we are acutely aware of the challenges that Wellesley homeowners face during New England’s harsh winter months. Our expert team of IICRC-certified technicians, is well-versed in managing various water damage scenarios, including slow leaks, sudden pipe bursts, weather-related flooding and more. Leveraging our local presence, we are able to provide rapid response to your emergency. Our team of experienced technicians are on-call 24/7 to address the source of excess water and minimize further damage.
Our Proven Process
Once we arrive on the scene, our experts conduct a detailed inspection, then devise an effective remediation strategy. From there, we begin the water extraction phase. Our powerful pumps and vacuums can rapidly remove hundreds of gallons of water from your home. We then move to drying and dehumidification. Using infrared cameras, moisture meters and other specialized equipment, we confirm that your property is completely dry. The last step is to restore your home to its pre-damaged state by repairing flooring, drywall and other effected features. We can even assist with handling insurance claims.
Helpful Hints to Preserve Your Property
Once your home is safe and dry again, we will provide you with tips to keep it that way. For example, we often recommend that homeowners in Wellesley insulate their pipes to prevent freezing – especially in unheated basements, attics and garages. It is also worth familiarizing yourself with the location and operation of your water main. Quickly cutting the flow of water to your home after a pipe bursts can make a major difference in how much damage is caused. Other important preventative measures include gutter maintenance, regular roof inspections and installing leak detection systems.
