Water Damage Restoration in White Plains, NY | Servicemaster

In White Plains, basement flooding is often caused by heavy rainstorms overwhelming the city's drainage systems, clogged sump pumps, and foundation cracks that allow groundwater to seep in. Older homes in neighborhoods like Battle Hill and Gedney Farm may also experience flooding from aging sewer lines or downspouts that direct water too close to the foundation.

Signs of hidden water damage from a water heater leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or discolored drywall near the heater, a musty odor in the basement or utility room, and buckling of nearby flooring. Even a slow leak can saturate insulation and framing, leading to mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.

First, shut off the water source if possible and notify your building superintendent. Then call Servicemaster immediately. We work with your building's management to extract standing water, dry affected walls and floors, and contain moisture to prevent it from spreading to adjacent units. We also coordinate with insurance adjusters to streamline the claims process.
