Water Damage Restoration in Mount Pleasant, RI
Mount Pleasant is the neighborhood on the northwest edge of Providence around Rhode Island College, between Chalkstone Avenue and the North Providence line. It was built out in the 1920s through the 1940s with bungalows, capes, and two-families for families moving up from the mill neighborhoods below, on block and stone foundations with basements. Triggs Memorial Golf Course, laid out in the 1930s, takes up the neighborhood's western third and drains toward the Woonasquatucket to the south.
The elevation keeps most of Mount Pleasant out of the river, but the streets at the bottom of the hill toward Manton Avenue took water when the Woonasquatucket went over its banks in March 2010. The rest of the neighborhood has the problems of an eighty-year-old housing stock: groundwater through block walls in a wet spring, sump pumps added after the fact, galvanized supply lines rusting through, and pipes in enclosed porches splitting when the temperature hit minus 9 in February 2023.
We connect Mount Pleasant homeowners and landlords with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You describe the problem; the provider decides what to look at first.
Mount Pleasant water damage, bungalow basements and two-family ceilings
Groundwater or a sump failure in a basement is a basement flooding cleanup job. A second-floor bathroom leak in a two-family is ceiling water damage repair for the tenant below. A dishwasher that has dripped under a 1940s kitchen for a month is dishwasher leak cleanup, and the basement ceiling is where it shows.
