Water Damage Restoration in Warwick, RI
Warwick is Rhode Island's third-largest city, about 83,000 people just south of Cranston across the Pawtuxet River, with 39 miles of shoreline on Narragansett Bay. It grew as a summer colony at Oakland Beach and Conimicut and as mill villages at Apponaug and Pontiac, and then filled in after World War II with block after block of 1950s and 1960s capes and ranches, most with basements, on flat land that does not drain well.
The Pawtuxet made the city famous for the wrong reason. On March 31, 2010, the river crested at 20.79 feet at the Cranston gauge just upstream, about 13 feet above flood stage, and put several feet of water through Warwick Mall, closed Interstate 95, and flooded hundreds of homes along the river from Pontiac to Pawtuxet Village. The bay is the other threat: the 1938 hurricane and Hurricane Carol on August 31, 1954, wiped out the cottages at Oakland Beach, and Sandy flooded the shore again on October 29, 2012.

Warwick water damage, river side and bay side
River or groundwater in a cape's basement is a basement flooding cleanup job, and after 2010 most of the river streets know it well. A pipe that froze in an enclosed porch or a garage wall is frozen pipe cleanup. Once the water is out, structural drying with dehumidifiers is what gets a below-grade room in this flat, damp city back to dry.
Where to call in Warwick
Permits for rebuilding walls, plumbing, or electrical go through the city's building department, reachable through the City of Warwick site. The Warwick Mall rebuilt and reopened after 2010 and marks the anniversary each March, which tells you how the city remembers that week.
