B & G Restoration Specialists: Water Damage Restoration & Junk Removal in Boston, MA

In Boston, we see a lot of water damage from kitchen sink leaks, especially in older plumbing systems common in neighborhoods like Charlestown and Dorchester. Sprinkler system leaks are another frequent culprit in both residential and commercial properties, often due to freezing or aging pipes. Appliance leaks from dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators also happen regularly. After heavy rain or tropical storms, flash flooding can overwhelm drainage in low-lying areas like the Back Bay Fens.

Signs of hidden water damage include musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, warped flooring, and discolored spots on walls or ceilings. You might also notice an increase in humidity or a sudden spike in your water bill. In Boston’s older buildings, mold can develop quickly behind walls or under floors, so if you suspect a leak, it’s best to call a professional for a thorough inspection.

First, we stop the source of water and extract standing water using industrial pumps. Then we dry the area with air movers and dehumidifiers, and treat for mold if needed. For flood damage, we often need to remove waterlogged carpets, drywall, and insulation. Our junk removal service handles hauling away debris, including damaged furniture and construction waste. Finally, we restore the space—repairing walls, flooring, and fixtures—so it’s safe and livable again.
