Water Damage Restoration in Easton's Point, RI

Easton's Point is the peninsula in Middletown between Easton's Beach and Sachuest Beach, where Purgatory Road and Tuckerman Avenue run along the rocks above Purgatory Chasm. The houses are Victorian shingle cottages from the 1880s and 1890s on the high ground, with 1950s and 1960s houses on the smaller lots behind them and along the low stretch of Aquidneck Avenue toward Easton's Pond. The point takes the ocean from the south and the east with nothing in front of it.

The exposure is the problem. Wind-driven rain gets under century-old shingles, salt spray eats the flashing, and the low ground at the foot of the point, mapped as the Atlantic Beach district, floods from the sea in a serious storm. The 1938 hurricane destroyed the boardwalk and road at Easton's Beach, Carol in 1954 took the carousel, and Sandy in 2012 reworked the beach again.

This site puts Easton's Point homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider.

Easton's Point water damage between two beaches

Sea water on the low ground toward Aquidneck Avenue is a storm surge and coastal flood cleanup. Rain under old shingles or through a failed valley on a Victorian cottage is roof leak and ice dam water damage. A pipe that froze in a cottage closed for the winter is a frozen pipe cleanup.

The refuge at the end of the road

Sachuest Point Road runs from the neighborhood out to the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, 242 acres of headland and salt marsh that take the same weather the houses do and show what the shoreline looks like without a seawall. Middletown's building office handles the permits for rebuild work on the point.
