Damage Restoration & Mold Remediation Portsmouth, NH | SynergyOne Solutions

Tropical storms often bring heavy, sustained rainfall that can overwhelm drainage systems or seep through foundation cracks, leading to standing water on hardwood floors. The wood absorbs moisture, causing it to swell, cup, or buckle. In Portsmouth homes near the Piscataqua River, storm surge can also push water into basements, affecting flooring above. Prompt extraction and drying are critical to prevent permanent damage.

Signs include a steady water leak near your HVAC unit, a musty smell, or moisture on the floor around the system. Condensate lines can clog or overflow, especially during humid summer months. If you notice water pooling without recent heavy rain, it’s likely an HVAC issue. Our team can inspect and dry the area, then help you address the source to prevent mold growth.

First, we extract all standing water and thoroughly dry the basement using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. Then, we identify and remove mold-affected materials like drywall, insulation, or carpet. We treat surfaces with antimicrobial solutions to kill spores and prevent regrowth. Finally, we recommend fixing the moisture source—whether from flooding or HVAC overflow—to keep your basement healthy and safe.
