Water Damage Restoration Ithaca NY | Sewage & Flood Cleanup

Sewage backups often result from heavy rains overwhelming municipal systems, especially in low-lying Ithaca neighborhoods like Fall Creek. Tree roots infiltrating pipes or aging infrastructure also contribute. To prevent backups, install a backwater valve and avoid flushing non-degradables. If a backup occurs, our team safely extracts waste, disinfects the area, and restores affected surfaces, preventing contamination and mold.

After a flood from Cayuga Inlet or Six Mile Creek, look for musty odors, warped baseboards, staining on walls, or soft spots in flooring. Even after the water recedes, moisture can linger in crawlspaces and walls, leading to mold. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden dampness, then dry and restore your home thoroughly to prevent structural issues.

When water intrudes into a garage and seeps into hardwood floors, rapid action is crucial. We assess the extent of damage—if boards are cupped or buckled, we may dry them in place using air movers and dehumidifiers. For severe damage, we replace affected planks and sand and refinish to match. Prompt drying prevents permanent warping and mold growth, saving your floors.
