Alton Cleanup and Restoration

Managing Water Damage and Fire Damage in Alton Properties

Nestled along the shores of majestic Lake Winnipesaukee, Alton, NH, is a town packed with charm and surprises. It proudly hosts the only FAA-approved ice runway in the lower 48 states, which opens during winter when the lake freezes over. As home to New Hampshire's largest lake, Alton takes pride in its sweeping shoreline and rich history — including the first Steamer Cruise Line, launched in 1872 with a classic side-wheeler. Floating just off the shore, the Water Bandstand Gazebo (built in 1928) adds a nostalgic touch to the waterfront. Beyond the lake, adventure seekers can hike Mount Major for panoramic views or wander through Railroad Square Park, Levey Park, and the Mike Burke Trail for a peaceful escape.

The fun continues year-round with Alton's vibrant local events. On November 20, 2025, unwind with Guided Meditation with Karen Kharitonov at the Gilman Library — a perfect reset from daily routines. On December 4, 2025, settle in for an afternoon performance at the Theater Thursday Matinee, and when January 27, 2026, rolls around, swing by the Blood Pressure Clinic at the Alton Senior Center for a healthy start to the new year. Whether you're chasing adventure, relaxation, or community connection, Alton offers a little something for everyone.

Preventing Mold and Rot after Water Damage

After a water leak, things can get worse if mold starts developing or if structural materials warp or rot. Since these problems develop when moisture in your property remains unaddressed, it's possible to prevent them through proper management. SERVPRO® provides the tools and expertise for efficient moisture control within the opportune timeframe. 

Typical solutions that help after water leaks

• Using vacuum extractors for faster water removal
• Using specialized dehumidifiers such as LGR or Desiccant
• Opening up enclosed structural areas, such as walls

Dealing with stains and corrosion after fire damage

Soot and other fire residues tend to leave stubborn stains and may corrode materials. Vulnerable materials include carpets, stone countertops and metal or chrome-finished accessories such as door knobs and hinges. Preventing stains is usually easier than removing them, so our SERVPRO crews take steps such as pre-cleaning materials and applying protective oil over metal items to limit the chances of corrosion. We also use specialized cleaning products, including degreasers and strong alkalis, to break down soils effectively.

With help from SERVPRO, managing water and fire damage is easier.
