Water Damage Restoration in Staten Island NY Service

Water damage can happen due to rain, flooding, leaks, burst pipes, or overflows. The excess water penetrates deep into a home or building by spreading through porous building materials including wood, drywall, flooring, and insulation. The spread of the water weakens these materials which can lead to devastating structural damage. The presence of excess moisture also creates the right conditions for mold to grow which can cause additional damage and negatively impact your health. Our technicians are highly trained and certified to thoroughly remove excess water and dry the affected areas with our advanced water extraction and dehumidification equipment.

The water damage restoration services we provide include these basic steps:

Emergency Response: Our quick response helps us limit the spread of the water to prevent damage. We will create a restoration plan based on our evaluation of the damage.
