Which parts of Revere flood most?
In Revere, flooding is most common along Revere Beach Boulevard, at Point of Pines near the mouth of the Saugus River, around Oak Island and the marshes, and in low-lying parts of Beachmont. Nor'easters at high tide push water into these areas, while heavy rain can back up sewers and flood basements across the city.

Why Revere homes take on water
Revere Beach was the first public beach in the United States, and the city has grown up close to the water on both its ocean side and its marsh side.
Revere Beach and Point of Pines
Homes and buildings along Revere Beach Boulevard face the open Atlantic. Point of Pines and Riverside sit at the mouth of the Saugus River, just across the bridge from Lynn. When a nor'easter peaks at high tide, these areas can take on water from the ocean side and the river side at once. See storm and flood damage restoration.
Low ground near the marshes
Oak Island and neighborhoods near the Rumney Marsh sit only slightly above the marsh. Heavy rain and high tides raise groundwater and slow drainage, pushing water into basements.
Sewer backups in heavy rain
When intense rain overloads the drains in low parts of the city, water can come back up through basement floor drains. That water is contaminated and needs sewage backup cleanup.
Dense multi-family housing
Much of Revere is two- and three-family houses and apartment buildings. A leak from a washer, tub or water heater upstairs spreads through ceilings into the units below, so fast shut-off and drying in every affected unit matter.

Water damage questions from Revere
Do I need flood insurance in Revere?
If your home is near Revere Beach, Point of Pines, Oak Island or the marshes, it is worth checking. Homeowners policies exclude rising flood water, and NFIP policies usually have a 30-day waiting period, so buy before storm season. See FloodSmart.gov.
Water came through my ceiling from the unit upstairs. What now?
Get the water shut off upstairs, move belongings out from under the leak and photograph everything. The building owner's policy usually covers the structure, and each household's own policy covers their belongings.
Is it safe to stay after a sewer backup?
Usually, if the affected area is closed off. Keep children and pets out, avoid contact without gloves and boots, and do not run heating or cooling that pulls air from the basement until it is cleaned.
How fast can you reach Revere?
Usually 10 to 15 minutes from central Lynn over the General Edwards Bridge. Call for a realistic arrival time.
