When water gets into a home or a commercial building, we take the details and put the owner in touch with a contractor who serves their area. NOAA's state climate summary for New York records that Superstorm Sandy caused a massive storm surge in New York City in October 2012, with an estimated $19 billion in damages to the city. In 2011 Hurricane Irene brought more than 18 inches of rain to the Catskills, and Tropical Storm Lee followed with more than 12 inches in the Susquehanna basin. The state has seen a large increase in 2-inch extreme precipitation events, and sea level along the coast has risen about 13 inches since 1880. That is the backdrop for water damage in New York.

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in New York, NY

In New York, our role is to shorten the search. We take the address and the details of the loss, then connect the owner with an independent contractor who works in that area and handles that type of damage. We do no restoration work ourselves. New York does not license home improvement contractors statewide. Licensing is local, with programs in New York City and in counties including Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. Mold is different. The Department of Labor licenses mold assessors and remediation contractors under Article 32 of the Labor Law, and the same party may not perform both the assessment and the remediation on the same property. Ask for the local license and, where mold is involved, the state mold license. Whichever contractor you speak with in New York, NY, ask for a written scope and proof of insurance before agreeing to anything. Any insurance claim is handled between you and the contractor. We do not set or influence prices. The quote comes from the contractor.

Water Damage Restoration New York, NY FAQs

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions New York, NY homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Should I call my insurer or a restoration contractor first?
In most cases you can do both within the same hour, and the order matters less than acting early. Stopping the water and limiting the damage comes first, because most policies expect the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further loss. Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can and note the claim number. A contractor can then inspect the property and document the damage. Keep photographs, videos and receipts from the start, since that record supports whatever your insurer decides.
Can I dry out water damage myself?
For a small spill caught quickly on a hard surface, often yes. The difficulty is that water travels where you cannot see it, under flooring, behind baseboards and into wall cavities, and a surface that feels dry can sit on top of materials that are still wet. Household fans move air but do not remove moisture from it the way professional dehumidifiers do. If the water has soaked into carpet pad, drywall or subfloor, or if it came from a contaminated source, an inspection with moisture meters is the safer choice.
What are the categories of water damage?
The restoration industry commonly sorts water into three categories by contamination. Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source such as a supply line. Category 2 is water with significant contamination, for example from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water such as sewage or floodwater. The category matters because it changes what can be cleaned and kept and what has to be removed. Clean water can also degrade into a worse category the longer it sits, which is one more reason to act early.
What can be saved and what has to be removed?
It depends mainly on the material and on how contaminated the water was. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and dried. Porous materials such as carpet pad, insulation and drywall are harder to save, and after contact with sewage or floodwater they generally have to be removed. Solid wood and structural framing can often be dried in place if the work starts early. A contractor should tell you what they plan to remove and why before they do it, and you can ask for that in writing.
Do you set the price for the work?
No. We set no prices and play no part in the quote. The contractor you are matched with inspects the property and gives you their own estimate, and many contractors offer free estimates, so confirm that before booking. Because the price comes from the contractor, it is sensible to ask what the estimate includes, how changes to the scope will be handled and how insurance billing would work if you make a claim. If you want a sense of typical figures, published industry sources such as Fixr report national averages, but only an inspection produces a real number for your property.
