Fast, Professional Help When Water Enters Your Home or Business
Water can spread quickly through flooring, walls, ceilings, insulation, furniture, and personal belongings. Even after standing water is removed, hidden moisture may continue causing damage.
Kennedy Restoration provides 24/7 water damage restoration throughout Greater Boston, the South Shore, Eastern Massachusetts, and Cape Cod, including extraction, moisture detection, structural drying, cleanup, damaged-material removal, deodorizing, and qualifying repairs or reconstruction.
What to Do After Discovering Water Damage
Your safety comes first. Do not enter an area with possible electrical hazards, structural instability, sewage contamination, or other unsafe conditions. When it is safe to do so:
- Stop the water source or shut off the main supply
- Avoid standing water near outlets, wiring, appliances, or electrical panels
- Keep children and pets away
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- Move dry, undamaged belongings away when possible
- Avoid direct contact with sewage, stormwater, or visibly contaminated water
- Call Kennedy Restoration for professional assessment and extraction
For active flooding or rapidly spreading water, call 781-335-8000 immediately.
Why Fast Water Damage Response Matters
Water can travel beneath flooring, behind walls, through ceilings, into insulation, and across adjoining rooms. A delayed response can contribute to damaged drywall, swollen wood, ruined flooring, corrosion, damaged belongings, persistent odors, hidden moisture, mold growth, and increased repair needs.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Burst and Leaking Pipes
Frozen pipes, aging plumbing, broken supply lines, and hidden leaks can release water into walls, ceilings, flooring, and adjoining rooms.
Appliance and Water-Heater Failures
Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, water heaters, and other appliances can damage flooring, cabinetry, walls, and belongings when a hose, tank, seal, or connection fails.
Toilet, Sewage, and Bathroom Overflows
Backups, clogs, supply-line failures, damaged seals, and overflows may spread contaminated water or hidden moisture into surrounding rooms, walls, flooring, and rooms below.
Slow Plumbing Leaks
Leaks behind walls, beneath cabinets, or inside ceilings may continue before becoming visible and can affect drywall, flooring, cabinetry, insulation, and belongings.
Storm and Flood Damage
Heavy rainfall, roof damage, storms, and exterior flooding may introduce water, debris, and contamination while affecting the roof, structure, walls, ceilings, furniture, and personal property.
Residential and Commercial Water Damage Restoration
Home Water Damage Restoration
We help homeowners remove water, dry affected materials, clean the property, evaluate damaged contents, and identify necessary repairs.
Commercial Water Damage Restoration
We work with business owners, facility managers, landlords, and property managers to assess the loss, contain affected areas, remove water, dry the structure, and plan restoration work while considering operational needs.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
1. Emergency Assessment and Source Control
We identify the apparent source, immediate safety concerns, and initial scope, and control the source when possible.
2. Moisture Inspection and Documentation
Professional tools help identify visible and hidden water. Damaged areas are documented to support restoration planning and insurance claims.
3. Water Extraction and Containment
Standing water is removed, including from difficult areas, and containment may be used to limit spread.
4. Structural Drying and Dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidification equipment reduce moisture in materials and the surrounding air.
5. Cleaning, Deodorizing, and Material Removal
Salvageable surfaces and contents are cleaned, while materials that cannot be restored may be removed.
6. Repairs and Reconstruction
Qualifying repairs or reconstruction may be completed when drywall, flooring, ceilings, framing, or other components have been compromised.
Structural Water Damage
We can evaluate water damage affecting walls, ceilings, drywall, insulation, hardwood and other flooring, carpeting, subflooring, basements, crawl spaces, attics, garages, cabinets, structural wood, roof-related areas, plumbing systems, appliances, furniture, and personal contents.
Water Damage Insurance Claim Assistance
