We Arrive & Stop It
Our truck is at your door in 25 minutes. We bring industrial equipment. First thing we do is stop the water. If a pipe burst, we shut off the main. If a roof leaks, we tarp it. We stop the problem immediately.
We Remove Water
We deploy powerful water extraction equipment. We pump standing water out of basements, crawlspaces, and affected rooms. We use smaller tools to get water from corners and tight spaces. This part usually takes 2-4 hours.
We Dry Completely
We set up industrial air circulation and dehumidifiers throughout your home. We use moisture meters to find water hiding in walls and under floorboards. We dry for 3-5 days straight. We don't leave until moisture levels are completely normal.
We Repair & Restore
We repair or replace everything water damaged. New drywall. Fresh paint. New flooring. Trim repair. We put your home back the way it was. When we're done, you won't know water damage ever happened here.
Water Problems We Fix Every Week in Montclair
Historic Home Burst Pipes
Victorian and colonial homes downtown have 80+ year old pipes. Corrosion weakens them. Winter freezing cracks them. A burst pipe can flood three rooms in an hour. We shut off water, extract everything, and dry it fast.
Basement Flooding
Montclair basements flood in heavy rain. Sump pumps fail. Foundation cracks let groundwater seep in. Older basements in Upper Montclair and near Watchung Plaza flood regularly. We pump, extract, dry, and prevent mold.
Multi-Unit Building Leaks
Downtown Montclair has lots of multi-family buildings. One unit's water damage becomes everybody's problem. Upstairs apartment flooding damages units below. We handle complex multi-floor restoration professionally and quickly.
MSU Area Apartment Emergencies
College apartments near MSU get toilet overflows, washing machine leaks, and burst pipes. Students need fast response. We work with landlords and property managers. We restore student housing quickly so classes aren't disrupted.
Nor'easter Roof & Storm Damage
Winter nor'easters hit Montclair hard. Roof leaks pour water into attics and walls. Wind damage breaks gutters. Street flooding seeps into basements. We tarp roofs, extract water, dry multiple floors, and prevent mold.
Gallery & Commercial Water Loss
Restaurants, galleries, and museums near downtown Montclair can't afford downtime. We respond immediately to commercial water emergencies. We work nights and weekends to minimize business interruption and protect artwork.
Questions Montclair People Ask About Water Damage
How fast do you actually arrive in Montclair?
25 minutes average. We've tracked it for years. From when you call until our truck is at your Montclair address is 25 minutes or less. We station crews and equipment specifically for Montclair emergency response. Downtown Montclair, Upper Montclair, MSU area - same response time.
Does insurance pay for water damage restoration?
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden water emergencies. Burst pipes? Covered. Appliance leaks? Covered. Roof damage from storms? Covered. They usually don't cover slow leaks or flooding. We handle all the insurance stuff. We document everything, submit the claim, and bill them directly so you don't pay upfront.
How many days does water damage restoration take?
Day one: we extract water. Days 2-5: we dry everything (this is the important part). If we need to remove damaged materials and repair, add another week. Most Montclair homes are fully restored in 10-14 days total. Smaller jobs in 3-4 days.
Can I stay in my home while you work?
Usually yes, if only part of the house is damaged. We can section off the work area so you can live in the rest of your home. Our equipment is loud during the day but we can turn it off at night. For very large damage or sewage backups, we might recommend staying elsewhere temporarily while we work.
How do you prevent mold after water damage?
Mold grows 24-48 hours after water exposure. We dry everything FAST and completely. We treat all wet surfaces with antimicrobial solutions. We monitor humidity levels constantly. By drying quickly and thoroughly, mold never gets a chance to grow. Prevention is automatic when you work fast enough.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Absolutely. We work constantly with MSU area landlords, downtown property managers, and commercial building owners. If you're a student or renter, call us immediately. We'll work with your landlord to handle the emergency. We've restored hundreds of Montclair rental units.
