Damage Restoration Services Schenectady, NY | Epic Mold Solutions

In Schenectady, basement flooding is often caused by heavy rain overwhelming older sump pumps or poor drainage near the Mohawk River. Burst pipes are also frequent during winter freeze-thaw cycles, especially in historic homes in neighborhoods like the Stockade. Apartment water damage can result from leaking sprinkler systems or faulty plumbing in multi-unit buildings.

Signs of hidden water damage include musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, warped flooring, and unexplained increases in your water bill. In Schenectady basements, look for efflorescence (white powder) on concrete walls or soft spots in drywall. If you had a recent sprinkler leak or burst pipe, even small stains can lead to mold if not dried properly.

We then dry the affected area with high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers, and treat surfaces to prevent mold.
