BEFORE THE CREW ARRIVES

Protect people and locate the source.

If safe, stop the water at a fixture or shutoff. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and do not enter a flooded area with an electrical hazard. Avoid contact with sewage, stormwater, or water of unknown origin.

In a managed LIC building, notify the superintendent or building manager and ask about access to the affected unit, unit below, riser, mechanical room, and service elevator. When you call 917-633-4807, tell us whether the source is contained, which spaces are wet, and when the loss began. We will confirm availability and discuss the assessment.

LIC PROPERTY TYPES

Water loss in a changing neighborhood.

Long Island City includes waterfront residential towers, older multifamily buildings, offices, studios, and industrial or mixed-use spaces. The first assessment should reflect the property, water source, materials, and access constraints rather than use the same scope for every call.

High-rise units

A dishwasher line or bathroom leak may affect flooring, wall bases, and a unit below. We discuss building access, neighboring spaces, moisture checks, and equipment placement with the owner or manager.

Ground-floor businesses

Near Court Square or Queens Plaza, water in an office, shop, or studio can threaten inventory, equipment, and operating time. We plan extraction and drying around safe access and the property’s needs.

Lower levels and workspaces

In Hunters Point or an older mixed-use building, a lower level may hold stored materials or mechanical equipment. A pipe break, drain backup, and outside floodwater require different precautions.

Water still entering the building?

Call with the source, address, affected floors, and building contact. We will discuss emergency water removal and a free assessment, then confirm crew availability.

THE RESTORATION PLAN

Extract, dry, measure, document.

01 / SCOPE

Map affected spaces

We ask about the source and inspect accessible areas. Moisture meters and, where useful, other detection tools help locate damp materials beyond visible standing water.

02 / EXTRACT

Remove accessible water

Professional water extraction equipment addresses standing water. The method and any material removal depend on the water category, affected assembly, and site conditions.

03 / DRY

Manage the environment

Air movers and dehumidifiers support structural drying, with equipment placement adapted to apartment, commercial, or lower-level access. Moisture readings track progress.

04 / RECORD

Keep a clear file

Photos, readings, equipment notes, and a scope can help owners and managers coordinate next steps and provide information for an insurer. Coverage remains the insurer’s decision.

LONG ISLAND CITY QUESTIONS

Answers before you call.

What should a Long Island City building manager tell Flood Gone first?

Share the address, source of water, affected floors or units, when the leak began, whether it has stopped, and how crews can access the mechanical room, loading area, or service elevator. We will confirm availability and the next step by phone.

Can you dry water damage in a high-rise apartment?

We can assess visible and hidden moisture in the affected unit and discuss adjacent spaces with building management. Extraction, air movement, dehumidification, and monitoring depend on the materials, access, and water source.

Do you handle water losses in LIC commercial spaces?

Yes. We take calls about offices, studios, shops, and other commercial spaces. Tell us about operating hours, sensitive equipment, inventory, and building requirements so the assessment can account for them.

What if water entered from a storm or sewer backup?

Avoid contact with potentially contaminated water and stay clear of electrical hazards. The source changes the precautions and cleanup scope. Call with the location and affected areas; we will discuss safe next steps.

Can you provide records for an insurance claim?

Where appropriate, we document affected areas, moisture readings, equipment, and work performed. The insurer and policy determine coverage; we cannot guarantee a claim outcome.
