Damage Restoration & Gutter Services | Union City, NJ | NYC Home Repairs

After a heavy storm, watch for water stains on ceilings or walls near skylights, peeling paint or bubbling plaster, damp insulation in attics, and musty odors. You may also notice water pooling around skylight edges or dripping. If you see daylight around the skylight frame or feel drafts, the seal has failed. In our work around Union City, these signs are common after nor'easters and heavy rain. Ignoring them can lead to mold and structural rot.

First, we locate and shut off the water source to stop further flooding. Then we extract standing water with pumps and wet vacuums. After that, we set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the space thoroughly, including behind walls and under flooring. We inspect for damage to your sprinkler system and repair the leak—usually a broken pipe or faulty valve. Finally, we restore any damaged drywall, baseboards, or flooring. This process prevents mold and saves your basement.

Yes, often. Clogged or undersized gutters are a leading cause of basement flooding in Union City because water spills over and saturates the foundation. We clean and inspect your existing gutters. If they're old, sagging, or too small for our frequent heavy rain, we recommend seamless aluminum or copper gutters with proper downspout placement. Installing gutter guards and extending downspouts away from the foundation also helps. Better gutters direct storm water safely away from your home.
