When your home is being threatened by water damage from flooding or leaks, restoration companies like our Servpro of Scarsdale / Mount Vernon have background checked, highly trained staff to help you.  We prevent or mitigate the devastating effects water damage can have in order to help preserve and restore your property.

When you have a devasting flood, you'll need the equipment and experience necessary to handle the most challenging water damage.  Most water removal and drying solutions and restoration teams and are available around-the-clock.  Just make sure that you bring in a team that is 1) water certified with The Clean Trust (IICRC).  And, 2)  Be sure that they are a reputable, "structural drying" company" that will professionally clean your home or business and prevent mold growth.

First, you'll want to call your insurance company and then concentrate on having someone safely dry, deodorize and disinfect the flooded or water damaged areas inside your property.  Many companies can help with exteriors and water proofing your basement through landscaping, but our family owned, 45 year old restoration company only dries and restores interiors.  That includes flooded garages and mold affected crawl spaces.
