Furnace Room Basement Catastrophe
Dumont, NJ • Completed June 2024
A family in Dumont experienced a furnace room water disaster when a water heater relief valve malfunctioned, continuously dripping water for three days before anyone noticed. The room's concrete floor had absorbed a tremendous volume of water, and the surrounding framing showed significant saturation. The water heater itself was at risk of corrosion, and the furnace's combustion air intake was dangerously close to the moisture saturation level. Our restoration required specialized attention to both the mechanical systems and the structural drying. The homeowner had never thought about equipment maintenance as a water damage prevention strategy. We not only restored the space but also upgraded the water heater system with better monitoring and installed a floor drain with water detection sensor.
- Replaced failing water heater relief valve with modern system
- Applied professional-grade moisture remediation to concrete floor
- Treated all adjacent framing with antimicrobial protection
- Installed water detection sensor connected to homeowner's smartphone
- Upgraded mechanical room drainage to prevent future accumulation
Restaurant Kitchen Water Damage Restoration
Dumont, NJ • Completed February 2025
A restaurant in Dumont discovered water dripping into their commercial kitchen from a failed HVAC roof penetration during heavy rain. The kitchen area, with its expensive equipment and strict health code requirements, needed specialized restoration to meet inspection standards. The owner was concerned about lost revenue during closure and maintaining their health department rating. Our commercial team understood the complexity—this wasn't just water removal, it was about meeting commercial kitchen standards and health code compliance. We systematically restored the kitchen, documented everything for health inspectors, and coordinated the HVAC penetration repair. The health department cleared the space and the restaurant reopened with all equipment operational.

Practical guidance tailored to Bergen County weather, homes, and the way properties are built in Dumont.
Restore, Protect and Beyond Repair
Our Team
We Know Jersey Weather
Nor'easters, flash floods from summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack foundations— we've seen what North Jersey weather throws at homes. Your basement flooded when that storm drain backed up? We've been there. We know the drill.
Local Construction Styles
Split-levels from the '60s, century-old Victorians, garden apartments, and newer townhomes— Bergen County has them all. We know which basements leak, which crawl spaces need work, and how to navigate tight Jersey properties where the trucks barely fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Dumont residents
Why do Dumont capes see basement puddling?
Older foundations and exterior grading direct water inward. We re-route downspouts, add drain channels, and keep humidity below 50% to prevent recurring odors.
How fast does mold form after a sump failure?
Within 24–48 hours in June–September humidity. We extract immediately, run dehumidifiers and air movers, and apply antimicrobials to stop spore growth.
Do you salvage laminate flooring?
If seams swell, replacement is best. We dry the subfloor to safe levels first, then reinstall with moisture barriers suitable for Dumont basements.
Can you bill insurance directly?
Yes for covered losses. We assist with water-damage documentation and scope estimates required by Dumont adjusters.

"Pipe burst inside the kitchen wall—water soaking three rooms. Bergen County Restore responded immediately. Their team led by Chris worked straight through five days of drying and kept us informed every step. Professional doesn't even cover it."

"Basement mold from years of moisture seeping through the foundation. Months of that musty smell. They identified the exact source, treated all mold, and installed a dehumidification system. Seven months with zero mold. Excellent."
