Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Garfield residents
Are Garfield homes near the Passaic River at high flood risk?
Yes, homes in the lower-lying areas of Garfield near the Passaic River are at a significantly higher risk of flooding during sustained rain. Our emergency response for Garfield includes staging high-capacity pumps to remove water quickly, protecting your home's utilities from damage, and rapidly drying all affected finishes. This fast action is critical in Garfield to prevent widespread mold growth and more extensive, costly repairs.
Do you clean sewage backups in Garfield?
Yes, we are fully certified to handle dangerous sewage backups, which are classified as Category 3 water losses. Our process in Garfield involves strict safety protocols, including full personal protective equipment (PPE), to safely disinfect the area, remove all contaminated materials, and establish a clean environment. We provide complete clearance documentation required for insurance claims in Garfield, ensuring your home is safe for re-occupancy.
Can we stay in our Garfield home during the cleanup process?
This depends entirely on the type of water damage. For a sewage backup in your Garfield home, it is unsafe to remain on the property until it has been professionally cleaned and disinfected. For clean-water losses, such as from a pipe burst, we can often isolate the work area with containment barriers and use quieter equipment, allowing you and your family to safely stay in your Garfield home.
How long does the full drying process take in Garfield?
For a typical clean-water event in Garfield, the structural drying process usually takes between 3 to 5 days. If water has saturated deep into wall cavities, under flooring, or into the subfloor, the timeline may be longer. Our technicians in Garfield use advanced moisture meters to monitor the drying progress daily and will not remove equipment until your property is verifiably dry.
