TechEast Fire & Water Restoration | Water Damage Restoration in Schenectady NY

Window leak water intrusion often results from high winds driving rain into gaps around window frames, especially in older homes typical of Schenectady neighborhoods like the Stockade. Poorly sealed or deteriorating caulking and worn weatherstripping are common culprits. Hurricane-force winds can also cause frame deflection, creating openings. TechEast conducts thorough inspections, seals leaks, and dries affected areas to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

Look for standing water, damp walls or floors, musty odors, peeling paint, and visible mold growth. In apartment buildings, especially near Central Park or downtown, flooding often follows heavy rain or snowmelt due to overwhelmed drainage or foundation cracks. Check for water stains on baseboards or warped flooring. TechEast offers prompt water extraction and drying to minimize damage and health risks.

We start with a thorough assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water. We extract standing water, set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, and monitor drying progress. We also treat for mold and repair structural damage.
