Water & fire restoration in New York City

Water and fire restoration businesses help people recover a home or building after flooding, a burst pipe, a fire, or the smoke and soot a fire leaves behind. Many also handle mold removal, mold inspection, asbestos and lead abatement, help with insurance claim paperwork, and rebuild afterward with kitchen or bathroom remodeling. When you call, ask whether the company works directly with your insurance insurer and who will oversee the job from start to finish. Check that the crew is licensed for the work involved, and ask for a written estimate that lists each step. For water damage, call as soon as you can, since delays often allow mold to start growing.
