Damage Restoration in Huntington, NY | SMS General Contractors Incorporated

In Huntington, foundation seepage often results from tropical storm flooding and heavy rainfall, which saturate the ground. This puts hydrostatic pressure on basement walls, forcing water through cracks or porous concrete. Homes near areas like the Huntington Reservoir or low-lying neighborhoods are especially prone to this issue.

Early signs include damp spots on basement walls or floors, a musty odor, or efflorescence (white, chalky residue). You might also notice water stains near the baseboards or a sudden increase in humidity. In apartments or homes in Huntington, these signs often appear after a tropical storm or prolonged rain event.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection to assess the water damage and identify the source, such as foundation seepage. We then extract standing water, dry the space using industrial equipment, and apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold. For apartments or houses in Huntington, we also repair structural damage and reinforce the foundation to prevent future flooding.
