Water Damage Restoration

Our water damage restoration services encompass emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, contents restoration, mold prevention, reconstruction, and complete property restoration. We serve residential and commercial clients throughout Schenectady, Albany, Saratoga, Amsterdam, Troy, and surrounding areas. Our comprehensive approach addresses both immediate water removal and long-term restoration needs, ensuring your property is fully restored to safe, healthy conditions.

Emergency response begins with your call. We answer 24/7 and can typically have crews on-site within hours. Our first priority is stopping water intrusion at the source when possible, whether that means shutting off water supplies, tarping damaged roofs, or implementing temporary repairs. We then conduct thorough damage assessment, documenting all affected areas with photographs and detailed notes for insurance purposes.

Water extraction removes standing water using powerful truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment. We extract water from carpets, hard surfaces, and affected materials, removing as much moisture as possible before it can soak deeper into structural components. Quick water removal is critical to preventing secondary damage including wood swelling, drywall saturation, and mold growth.

Contents restoration addresses water-damaged belongings including furniture, electronics, documents, clothing, and personal items. We inventory affected contents, pack out restorable items, clean and restore them in our facilities, and return them once restoration is complete. For items beyond restoration, we document losses for insurance claims.

Demolition and disposal remove materials too damaged for restoration. We carefully remove water-damaged drywall, insulation, flooring, trim, and other materials that cannot be adequately dried or have been contaminated. Controlled demolition exposes hidden moisture and prevents mold growth in wall cavities. We dispose of damaged materials responsibly and protect unaffected areas during demolition.

Reconstruction restores your property to pre-loss condition or better. After drying and demolition, we rebuild with quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. Reconstruction includes framing repairs, new drywall, flooring installation, painting, trim work, and all trades needed to complete restoration. Our construction expertise ensures seamless restoration that matches existing conditions.

Commercial water damage restoration understands businesses cannot afford extended downtime. We prioritize critical areas, work extended hours to accelerate restoration, and coordinate carefully to minimize business interruption. Our rapid commercial response has helped numerous Upstate NY businesses recover quickly from water emergencies.

Prevention advice helps avoid future water damage. We identify vulnerabilities, recommend improvements to plumbing or drainage, suggest preventive maintenance, and explain warning signs of potential problems. Our goal is protecting your property long-term.

Documentation throughout the restoration process provides complete records for insurance and your files. We photograph all phases, maintain moisture monitoring logs, track equipment usage, document all work performed, and provide comprehensive reporting.
