KMH Remediation & Cleaning | Watertown NY Damage Restoration & Duct Cleaning

A hidden slab leak often shows up as warm spots on the floor, a sudden increase in your water bill, or a musty smell. The trapped moisture soaks into insulation, which loses its R-value and can grow mold. At KMH, we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint the leak and wet insulation. We then extract water, remove damaged material, and dry the subfloor completely before installing new insulation.

Safety first—turn off electricity in the flooded area and avoid wading in standing water. Remove wet rugs and furniture if it's safe. Call us immediately at KMH Remediation & Cleaning. We use high-velocity air movers and desiccant dehumidifiers designed for coastal flood water extraction. We'll set up drying zones to prevent secondary damage to your drywall and insulation, and we'll test for contaminants that often come with rising water.

Yes. After a flood or major appliance leak, moisture can accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork, especially in the flex ducts found in many Watertown homes. This creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria that get blown through the house. During our restoration, we inspect ducting, clean it using a HEPA-equipped vacuum and agitation brushes, and apply an EPA-approved sanitizer. This ensures your air stays clean once the structure is dry.
