BEFORE RESTORATION BEGINS

Protect people and coordinate access.

If safe, shut off the source and avoid standing water near electricity. Do not enter sewage or unknown floodwater. In a multifamily building, alert management and ask whether a lower unit, cellar, or shared hallway is affected.

Call 917-633-4807 with the property address, water source, affected rooms or floors, when the loss began, and the building contact. We will discuss the assessment and confirm available response. Plumbing repair and restoration may require different trades.

Moisture measurements help determine where drying is needed. Flood Gone project photo.

EAST HARLEM WATER-LOSS SCENARIOS

The building changes the plan.

East Harlem’s multifamily housing, ground-floor businesses, and cellar spaces can put several occupants in the path of one water loss. Source, water quality, and access to affected rooms guide the response.

Apartment and shared-wall leaks

A bathroom or kitchen leak may move into the next unit or floor below. Early access helps find visible and hidden moisture.

Cellar and basement flooding

Standing water may affect stored contents, mechanical spaces, and porous materials. Tell us the depth and whether utilities are safe.

Sewer and drain backups

Contaminated water requires precautions. Keep occupants out, describe the source, and avoid handling wet materials until assessed.

Water spreading to another floor?

Tell us which spaces are wet, whether the source has stopped, and who can provide access. We will confirm crew availability and a free assessment by phone.

EAST HARLEM QUESTIONS

What to know before you call.

What if the East Harlem basement has sewage?

Keep people away from the water and tell us about the backup when you call. We will discuss access and appropriate cleanup precautions.

Can you assess more than one apartment?

Yes, when access is arranged. Water can move through floors and shared walls, so tell us which units may be affected.

Should I move wet belongings first?

Move only what is safe to handle, and avoid contaminated water or wet electrical areas. Photograph damage and discuss contents during assessment.

Do you help with structural drying after extraction?

Yes. We assess remaining moisture in accessible materials and plan drying and monitoring based on the loss.
