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 Upper Jay, 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 Upper Jay, 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 FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

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

Contact Us
Is flood damage covered differently from other water damage?
Usually, yes. Insurers generally draw a line between water that comes from inside the building, such as a supply line or an appliance, and rising water that comes from outside, such as a river, storm surge or surface runoff. The second kind is what flood insurance is designed for, including policies written through the National Flood Insurance Program. Which category a loss falls into is a decision for your insurer, not for us or for a contractor. If you are unsure which policy applies, report the loss under both and let the insurers respond.
How quickly should I act after finding water damage?
As soon as you find it. Water keeps moving through flooring, drywall and wall cavities for as long as it is present, so the amount of damage is largely a function of how long materials stay wet. The US Environmental Protection Agency advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Acting early also means the loss is documented sooner, which helps if an insurance claim follows. You can contact us at any hour and we will connect you with a local contractor.
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.
How soon can mold start after water damage?
Sooner than most people expect. The US Environmental Protection Agency says it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Warm, humid conditions and porous materials such as drywall, carpet pad and insulation make growth more likely. The EPA also suggests that moldy areas larger than about 10 square feet, or mold that follows extensive water damage, are a reason to consult a professional. Some states license mold work separately, so ask any contractor in Upper Jay, NY which credential covers it.
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.
