Situated on the Atlantic Coast, the city of Boston, Massachusetts and the entire New England region has seen its fair share of floods. There was the Great Flood of 1936, which caused widespread damage in the Merrimack and Connecticut river valleys. There were massive floods in 1955 caused by Tropical Storms Connie and Diane. And in 2010, relentless rainfall over five weeks in February and March caused countless basements to flood while area rivers set new high-water records. These incidents alone would be enough for most residents to have a Boston water damage restoration company on speed dial.
However, Boston is at risk of flooding even when there are no rain clouds in the sky. According to the Conservation Law Foundation, high tide flooding — also known as “sunny day flooding” or “nuisance flooding” — is becoming more frequent in New England thanks to rising sea levels and other factors pushing high tide levels above their historical marks. In fact, Boston currently registers more high tide flooding than any other city in the United States; by 2050, the city could see 50 to 70 days of high tide flooding each year. This means infrastructure that was thought to be safe based on previous high tide benchmarks could become susceptible to flood damage.
When disaster strikes, people in Boston need to be able to turn to a storm damage restoration company in their community that will deliver quality service quickly, ethically and with compassion during a stressful time. That’s where PuroClean Franchise Owners come in — they’re neighbors helping neighbors, restoring peace of mind and helping return lives to normal.
What Is Property Damage?
When you open a disaster restoration franchise with PuroClean, you’ll have the chance to help your fellow community members in times of need. This isn’t simply limited to floods and water damage, though — PuroClean Franchise Owners also receive state-of-the-art training on fire and smoke remediation, mold removal and biohazard cleanup in both residential and commercial settings.
Currently, it’s estimated that the property reconstruction industry is worth $210 billion — 40% of which is related to water damage alone — but that number is expected to grow due to increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Up to 14,000 Americans are involved in water damage emergencies every single day, and nearly 4.2 million homes in the U.S. are in danger of damage from hurricane storm surge flooding. In Boston alone, there are nearly 30,000 properties at risk of flooding over the next 30 years, according to First Street. That’s more than 30% of all properties in the city.
