Water and fire damage can happen quickly—and the damage can be extensive.
These photos show before and after repairs in Warren, Rhode Island, where frozen pipes during an extreme winter caused significant interior damage.
At Newport Construction Services, we have been performing fire and water damage repairs for over 60 years, helping homeowners restore their properties and navigate the insurance process.
Water Damage from Frozen Pipes (Common in Rhode Island)
In cold New England winters, one of the most common causes of damage is:
👉 Frozen and burst water pipes
When this happens:
- Pipes freeze and expand
- Lines rupture
- Water floods interior spaces
This can lead to:
- Structural damage
- Flooring and wall damage
- Mold risk if not handled quickly

Working with Insurance Companies
A successful project depends on understanding both:
- What the insurance company requires
- What the homeowner expects
We have completed hundreds of insurance-related projects and know how to:
- Communicate with adjusters
- Provide proper documentation
- Align scope of work with coverage
- Keep the project moving efficiently
👉 This is where experience makes a significant difference.
Proven Experience on Large-Scale Projects
One of our most notable insurance projects was:
Sunset Beach Condominiums – St. Croix (Hurricane Hugo)
- Complete rebuild of a 10-unit condominium complex
- 8 new kitchens installed
- New roofs, porches, and doors
- Full interior and exterior restoration
We were the first project completed on the island after the storm.
Why Experience Matters in Damage Restoration
Fire and water damage projects are different from typical construction work.
They require:
- Fast response
- Proper sequencing of work
- Coordination with insurance providers
- Understanding of hidden damage
Without the right approach, problems can resurface later.
Final Thought
Damage to your home is stressful—but the repair process doesn’t have to be.
With the right experience and clear communication, restoration can be handled efficiently and correctly from the start.
