Water Damage Restoration

New York's Leading Water Damage Restoration Service

Common Reasons for Water Damage in New York and Connecticut

Here are some of the most common causes of water damage in our local area:

Damaged and Broken Pipes
Broken pipes, frozen pipes, burst pipes, or cracked and leaking pipes are reasons for water damage. Water can cause leaks in the pipe below freezing, or the pipe itself is old and brittle.

Overflowing Toilets
An overflowing toilet is one of the most common reasons for water damage. Water damage occurs when rags or wads of paper are flushed down the toilet or clog a pipe causing the water to rise above the average level.

Leaking Roofs and Gutters
Insufficient roof maintenance, roof or gutter leaks, or roof collapse can cause water damage that commonly results in mold growth. Water can leak into the attic, crawlspace, or basement through walls, pipes, or cracks in the foundation.

Storm Damage
A hurricane, tornado, flood, or earthquake can all cause water damage to homes in New York. A pipe can burst, or a storm surge may flood the home. Floods can occur in coastal areas during storms and hurricanes.

Fire/Smoke Damage
Fire and smoke are two of the leading causes of water damage in New York. Firefighters use a tremendous amount of water to extinguish fires, and some will inevitably get into your home or business.

When the worst happens, and your house is flooded or damaged by water, it can take a toll on your family’s wellbeing and, if not properly addressed, lead to mold and health issues months or years down the line. Water damage requires immediate help from a professional service equipped to restore your home or business back to its original state. If left untreated, water damage can quickly transform into mold and pose serious health issues for you and your family or employees.

Available Water Damage Restoration Services

Dehumidification
Dehumidification is the process of removing excess moisture in air or water. Dehumidification helps control moisture in your home, preventing the growth of mold and mildew.

We use the highest-quality equipment and products to remove moisture from your home safely.

Dehumidifiers are powered by electricity or battery, meaning that odor and noise aren’t an issue. Most dehumidifier models are portable and small enough to move from room to room.

Leak detection
We use highly-trained technicians to perform leak detection and repair services. A leak will appear as a small pool of water or stains on your carpet.

Fixing moisture leaks is essential because it will preserve the functionality of your HVAC system and pipes. The loss of functionality can lead to higher utility bills and increased health risks, especially if you are housing large numbers of people in one residence.

Structural drying
Structural drying is restoring your home’s foundational elements after water damage or a flood event. The process helps prevent mold growth and preserves the integrity of your property.

Water damage can cause wood to swell and nails to loosen, resulting in cracks. Our water damage repair and restoration specialists use professional-grade restoration tools to get the job done professionally and accurately.

Thermal inspections
Thermal inspection is a process that uses infrared equipment to detect heat loss. The technology is ideal for detecting moisture in your ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Your water damage technician will also use thermal imaging to spot potential water-damaged areas.

Water removal
Our team uses advanced vacuum technology to remove water from your home. The process is customized to the situation, depending on how much water was present and how deep it was. This process can be done from the interior of your home or by using a portable pump unit.
