Services

Water Damage, Mold Remediation, and Expert Cleaning.

Water damage and mold are the core of the business. The emergency line is answered six days a week, and the inspection is free. We bill insurers directly on covered claims, and you don't need a claim to hire us. Every cleaning service is listed below as well.

01

Water Damage Restoration

Full-service water damage restoration: emergency water removal, mitigation and structural drying verified with moisture meters, cleanup, and complete build-back. IICRC-certified, same-day response, and we bill your insurance directly.

  • Same-day emergency response, six days a week
  • IICRC-certified water damage restoration technicians
  • Truck-mounted extraction plus commercial dehumidifiers and air movers

02

Emergency Water Removal

Rapid water extraction with same-day dispatch, six days a week. Truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps pull standing water out fast, and drying equipment goes down the same visit.

  • Emergency line answered by a person, not a machine — 8am–6pm, Sunday through Friday
  • Same-day arrival with extraction equipment already on the truck
  • Truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps for deep or wide water

03

Basement Flood Cleanup

Basement flood cleanup for finished and unfinished spaces: pump-out, contents triage, drying sized for below-grade rooms, and a straight answer about the sump, grading, or gutter problem that caused it.

  • Sump pump failures, groundwater seepage, and storm-driven flooding
  • Submersible pumps for anything from an inch to a few feet of water
  • Water category assessed first, since groundwater and sewage backup are different jobs

04

Sewage Cleanup

Sewage backups and overflows cleaned to IICRC Category 3 standards: protective equipment, containment, removal of contaminated porous materials, EPA-registered disinfection, and lawful disposal.

  • IICRC Category 3 (black water) protocols from the first minute on site
  • Full PPE and plastic containment so contamination stays in the work zone
  • Contaminated porous materials removed: carpet, pad, and affected drywall

05

Burst Pipe Cleanup

Cleanup and drying for burst and frozen pipes, plus the appliance failures that cause most indoor floods: washing machine hoses, water heaters, dishwasher and fridge lines. We trace, dry, document, and rebuild.

  • Frozen and burst pipe cleanup through Hudson Valley winters
  • Appliance failures too: washer hoses, water heaters, dishwasher and ice-maker lines
  • Phone walk-through to your main shut-off before the crew arrives

06

Storm Damage Cleanup

Storm water intrusion cleanup: roof leaks, wind-driven rain, and flash flooding. Emergency extraction, drying, soaked-material removal, and plain-English guidance on how storm claims get covered.

  • Roof leak intrusion, wind-driven rain, and flash flood cleanup
  • Same-day emergency response, six days a week
  • Tarping and board-up coordinated while permanent repairs are scheduled

07

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Professional structural drying: low-grain refrigerant dehumidification, engineered airflow, daily logged moisture readings, and a written drying report showing your home reached dry standard.

  • Moisture meters, thermal imaging, and thermo-hygrometers on every job
  • Low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers sized to the space and the wet load
  • Air movers placed from the moisture map rather than spaced evenly

08

Restoration Repairs & Build-Back

The build-back after water or mold work: drywall, insulation, flooring, trim, and paint — done by the same company that dried the structure, scoped to match the insurance estimate line by line.

  • Drywall, insulation, taping, and paint-matched finishing
  • Flooring replacement and subfloor repair after water losses
  • Trim, baseboard, and casing matched to the rest of the house

09

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation built on IICRC S520 practice: sealed containment, HEPA-filtered negative air, physical removal of affected materials, and the moisture fix that keeps mold from coming back.

  • Sealed containment with HEPA-filtered negative air keeps spores in the work zone
  • Colonized porous materials physically removed, not sprayed and encapsulated
  • HEPA vacuuming and damp-wiping of every surface in the work area

10

Mold Inspection & Testing

Moisture-first mold inspections: visual assessment, meter and thermal-imaging moisture mapping, and clear advice on when lab sampling is worth the money and when it isn't.

  • Moisture-first inspection with meters and thermal imaging, not just a flashlight
  • Visible mold rarely needs a lab to confirm it, and we'll say so
  • Air and surface sampling through an independent lab when it changes the plan

11

Carpet Cleaning

Commercial-grade steam cleaning with pH-balanced rinses and fiber-safe spot treatment. Most homes dry in 4–8 hours.

  • Pre-vacuum, pre-treat, then hot-water extraction on every job
  • Extra extraction passes on traffic lanes and stairs, where soil packs deepest
  • Pet urine treatment with enzyme deodorizer

12

Air Duct Cleaning

Whole-system air duct cleaning with negative-pressure vacuum collection and mechanical agitation, documented with before-and-after photos. The camera inspection comes first, and it decides whether cleaning is even worth doing.

  • Negative-pressure vacuum collection captures the dust instead of scattering it
  • Mechanical agitation of supply and return runs, not a shop-vac held at the register
  • Before-and-after photos of your actual ductwork, every job

13

Area Rug Cleaning

Synthetic rugs cleaned on-site; wool, hand-knotted, and viscose rugs go to our facility for a proper immersion wash and flat-dry. Free pickup and delivery across our NY and NJ service area.

  • Free pickup and delivery across Orange, Rockland, Westchester & Dutchess NY and North Jersey
  • Dye-stability check before any water touches the rug
  • Off-site immersion wash for wool, hand-knotted, and delicate fibers

14

Upholstery Cleaning

Microfiber, polyester, olefin, cotton blends, linen, and viscose. Colorfastness tested, low-moisture extraction, even drying.

  • Solvent-safe degreasing for body-oil darkening on arms and headrests
  • Pet and smoke odor neutralization with enzyme treatment
  • Microfiber, linen, and viscose-safe processes

15

Mattress Cleaning

Low-moisture mattress deep cleaning with optional deodorizing — built for households with allergies, kids, or pets. Dries in 2–4 hours.

  • Low-moisture hand-tool process that cleans without soaking the mattress
  • Allergen-focused deep clean: dust mites, dander, and skin debris
  • Pet and bedwetting odor treatment with enzyme chemistry

16

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Full-run dryer vent cleaning from the drum connection to the exterior termination. Lint buildup is a leading cause of home dryer fires, and it's also why towels take two cycles.

  • The full run cleaned, from the drum connection to the exterior hood
  • Rotary brush and vacuum extraction of packed lint
  • Bird nests and animal blockages cleared at the termination

17

Chimney Cleaning

Chimney sweeping for wood-burning fireplaces and stoves: creosote removal, smoke-shelf and firebox cleaning, dust-free HEPA containment, and a straightforward visual check with photos.

  • Full sweep: flue, smoke chamber, smoke shelf, and firebox
  • Drop cloths and HEPA-filtered vacuum containment keep soot out of the room
  • Creosote buildup assessed and photographed

18

Odor Removal

Pet, smoke, and musty odor removal that starts with finding what's producing the smell: enzyme treatment, deep extraction, HEPA air scrubbing, plus a moisture check when musty means something more.

  • Source-first approach: we find what's making the smell before treating anything
  • Pet urine: UV inspection, enzyme + oxidizer chemistry, pad assessment
  • Smoke and cooking odors: surface cleaning plus HEPA air scrubbing
