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 Elmwood Park residents
Passaic River nearby—our Elmwood Park basement floods. What works?
Interior drain channels, properly sized sump pumps with battery backup, and sealed dehumidification to keep RH under 50%. We also route discharge away from foundation walls.
Bottom of drywall is wet—does it all need to come out?
Not always. Cavity ventilation dries wall bottoms; we only remove sections where readings stay high or contamination is present.
Will that musty basement smell go away?
Yes with HEPA filtration, sealed dehumidification, and antimicrobial treatments. We verify air quality before reassembly.
How long does full drying actually take?
Typically 3–5 days for clean-water losses, longer if wall cavities or subfloors are saturated.
