Water Heater Failure Floods Utility Room
A 15-year-old water heater tank ruptured, releasing 40 gallons into the utility room and adjacent hallway. Water spread under laminate flooring, into wall cavities, and saturated the subfloor, causing buckling and swelling that would require complete flooring replacement once structural drying was complete.
Our Solutions:
- Immediate water extraction to limit spread
- Flooring removal to dry subfloor and joists
- Thermal imaging detects moisture in wall cavities
- Document damage for insurance claim within 24 hours
- Professional flooring installation after complete drying
Flash Flood Enters Home Through Window Wells
A severe thunderstorm dropped 3 inches of rain in 45 minutes, overwhelming window well drains and allowing water to pour through basement windows. Standing water covered 800 sq ft of finished basement with recreational furniture and electronics. The flood damaged drywall, baseboards, and carpet throughout the basement, requiring complete basement reconstruction after drying.
Our Solutions:
- Submersible pumps remove standing water immediately
- Content pack-out salvages restorable belongings
- Industrial dehumidifiers run 24/7 for 5 days
- Moisture monitoring ensures complete structural drying
- Basement drywall and flooring replacement after mitigation
Dishwasher Supply Line Leak Discovered Late
A slow leak from the dishwasher supply line went unnoticed for weeks, wetting the kitchen floor, cabinet bases, and drywall behind the dishwasher. Warped flooring and musty odor revealed the hidden damage. Water-damaged kitchen cabinets showed swelling and delamination, requiring cabinet replacement once moisture was eliminated.
Our Solutions:
- Moisture mapping reveals full extent of saturation
- Cabinet removal exposes wet drywall and insulation
- Targeted drying with injection systems in walls
- Antimicrobial treatment prevents microbial growth
- Kitchen cabinet installation and flooring repair after complete drying
Washing Machine Overflow Damages Laundry Room and Hallway
A washing machine drain hose disconnected during the spin cycle, releasing 30 gallons of water across the laundry room and into the adjacent hallway. Water seeped under vinyl flooring, saturated drywall at the base of walls, and spread into the nearby bathroom. The overflow caused vinyl flooring to lift and buckle, while baseboards showed water staining and swelling that required replacement.
Our Solutions:
- Immediate water extraction prevents further flooring damage
- Remove affected baseboards and flooring for subfloor access
- Deploy air movers and dehumidifiers to dry wall cavities
- Moisture monitoring ensures complete drying before repairs
- Baseboard replacement and vinyl flooring installation after drying

Roof Leak Creates Ceiling Water Damage in Multiple Rooms
Missing shingles from a winter storm allowed water to infiltrate the attic during heavy rain. Water traveled along roof decking and dripped through ceiling drywall in two bedrooms and the hallway, creating brown stains, bubbling paint, and visible sagging. Insulation in the attic became waterlogged, and the affected ceiling drywall required removal and replacement after the roof repair was completed.
Our Solutions:
- Emergency tarping prevents additional water intrusion
- Extract water from attic insulation and roof decking
- Remove damaged ceiling drywall to prevent collapse
- Industrial dehumidifiers dry attic framing and roof structure
- Coordinate roofing repair, then ceiling drywall replacement and painting

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
How quickly should I call for water damage restoration?
Call immediately—within the first hour if possible. Water damage worsens rapidly: standing water spreads to unaffected areas, porous materials absorb moisture, and mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours. Our 24/7 emergency line connects you to a live technician who can provide immediate guidance while dispatching a crew to your Bergen County home within 60 minutes.
Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related flooding (with flood insurance). We document all damage with photos and moisture readings, provide detailed estimates, and work directly with your insurance adjuster to streamline your claim. Gradual leaks or lack of maintenance may not be covered, so prompt action protects both your home and your claim.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Drying typically takes 3-5 days with professional equipment, though severe flooding or hidden moisture may require 7-10 days. After drying is complete, reconstruction (drywall, flooring, painting) adds 1-3 weeks depending on the scope. We provide daily progress updates and adjust equipment based on real-time moisture readings to ensure thorough drying without delay.
Can I stay in my home during water damage restoration?
In most cases, yes—especially if the damage is localized to one area like a basement or bathroom. We set up containment barriers and schedule equipment placement to minimize disruption. However, extensive flooding, sewage contamination, or mold growth may require temporary relocation for safety. We'll assess your specific situation and provide honest guidance on occupancy.
What equipment do you use for water extraction and drying?
We use truck-mounted water extractors for rapid removal of standing water, commercial-grade dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air, high-velocity air movers to accelerate evaporation, moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water, and HEPA air scrubbers to prevent mold spores from circulating. All equipment meets IICRC standards for professional water damage restoration.
How do you prevent mold after water damage?
Mold prevention starts with rapid drying—our goal is to extract standing water within hours and complete structural drying within 3-5 days, well before mold can establish growth. We apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces, run HEPA air scrubbers during drying, and use moisture meters to verify all materials reach safe levels (below 15% moisture content). If mold is already present, we contain and remove it per IICRC S520 standards.
