Basement Flooding Cleanup in New York, NY
If you'd rather not get a sales pitch, you're in the right place. Tell us what's wrong, we'll quote it, you decide. Our pricing's flat-rate, our techs are state-licensed, and our trucks have parts on them. Most jobs done the same visit.
What we cover
Basements flood from one of three sources: failed sump pump (inside source), groundwater intrusion (storm/runoff outside source), or sewer backup (Category 3 black water).
The source determines everything: scope of work, demolition required, sanitization protocol, and final cost. A clean-water sump-pump failure is a Category 1 event. A sewer backup is Category 3 and triples the cost.
Our first action is determining the source. Then we pump, extract, demolish what won't dry, sanitize if Category 2 or 3, and set up drying.
Basements are challenging for drying because of poor air circulation and high humidity at the foundation level. We bring desiccant dehumidifiers (better than refrigerant for cold environments) and high-CFM air movers.

What a typical call looks like
Property manager call, New York-area duplex. Both units had sewage backup in a basement utility room. We pulled the system apart and found clay sewer lateral cracked at 60 ft. Category 3 protocol: ppe, containment, demolition of all porous materials in contact, antimicrobial treatment, then drying on the same trip — both tenants happy. $425.
