Cousins Construction: Roofing & Damage Restoration in Amsterdam, NY

The most common culprit is a hidden pipe leak, often from aging plumbing or a slow fixture leak, along with HVAC condensate overflow—especially during humid summers. Signs to watch for include unexplained increases in your water bill, musty odors (a classic mold indicator), peeling paint or wallpaper, and soft or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call us for an inspection before mold takes hold.

Our process is thorough and neighbor-focused. First, we perform emergency water extraction to remove standing water. Then we dry the area completely, using professional-grade equipment. We check for mold and treat any growth. After the space is dry and safe, our team handles the restoration: we repair and replace damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation, and if needed, we'll replace your roof or siding to ensure no future water entry. We coordinate everything so you’re back to normal as fast as possible.

Absolutely. Your siding is your home’s first line of defense against moisture. Cracked, warped, or missing siding can allow water to seep behind the wall, where it gets trapped and promotes mold growth. After a storm or a leak, we inspect your siding for damage. If we find issues, we can repair or replace it—whether you need vinyl, fiber cement, or another material—to create a watertight seal that helps prevent the cycle of water damage and mold you often see in Amsterdam homes.
