This site helps connect property owners with independent local restoration providers. The provider you speak with is responsible for evaluating the property, explaining the scope, and representing its own credentials and services.
You tell us what you found: water on the basement floor, a pipe that let go, a ceiling that is dripping, a smell coming up from a drain. We connect you with an independent local provider who handles water losses in Cranston, Providence, and the towns around them. Any agreement, price, or warranty is between you and that provider.
Water losses here have a shape. A 1930s cape in Edgewood sits on a stone foundation that lets groundwater through every March. A Garden City ranch from 1950 has a finished basement with a sump pump that runs all spring and quits the night the power goes out. A triple-decker in Providence sends a third-floor bathtub overflow through two ceilings. A split-level in western Cranston is on a well and a septic tank, so a backup there is not a city sewer problem. And every few winters a cold snap like February 2023 splits pipes in porches and exterior walls across the county.
Most of these houses drink from the Scituate Reservoir through Providence Water, which serves Cranston, Providence, North Providence, Johnston, and Smithfield, and the shutoff at the street belongs to them. When a storm turns into a flood, the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency is where the river forecasts, shelter openings, and disaster assistance notices come from. A provider who works these neighborhoods every week already knows which streets flood and which basements seep.
Providers represent their own licensing and insurance. In Rhode Island, anyone who does residential construction work for hire must be registered with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board, and you can look a registration up on the board's site in about a minute. Ask for a certificate of insurance and a written scope before work starts. Those are reasonable requests, and a good provider expects them.
Call (401) 443-9638 and tell us where the water started, whether it is still coming in, and what it has reached so far.
