Water Damage Experts Lake Grove

Lake Grove's Trusted Water Restoration Team

We’ve been serving Long Island since 2012, building a reputation in Suffolk County for being more than just a service provider. We’re a local company with a deep understanding of the unique challenges Long Island homeowners face.

Basements in Long Island are particularly susceptible to flooding due to the high water table – something we see regularly in Lake Grove, NY. Homes that are poorly insulated or have aging infrastructure can cause frozen water pipes and breaks that are often hard to notice immediately because they most commonly occur in the basement.

Whether it’s a small leak or major flooding, we treat every property with care, restoring it to its best possible condition. When you work with us, you’re choosing a team that’s invested in helping you recover.

Basement Flooding Service Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

Emergency Response: We arrive promptly to assess the situation and secure the area. First, we make sure it’s safe – checking for electrical hazards and determining the type of water we’re dealing with.

Water Extraction: We use powerful pumps and vacuums to remove standing water. A professional grade pump removes all standing water, then water is extracted with a flood water extraction machine. This isn’t something you can handle with a shop vac.

Drying and Dehumidification: We utilize industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry the affected areas. Once the water has been removed, an anti-mold agent is sprayed to control contamination. Our technicians repair and rebuild damaged spaces, leaving them ready for use.

What You Get With Professional Cleanup

Our Lake Grove, NY water damage restoration team is available 24/7 to remedy any water damage problem that arises before the problem gets worse. We provide water damage services for both residential and large commercial properties.

Suffolk County floods are generally caused by prolonged heavy rainfall and storms. Flooding occurs when ocean ponds, lakes, riverbeds, soil, and vegetation cannot absorb all of the water. Rising water overflows the natural boundaries of bodies of water, and flows across the ground as surface runoff picking up all kinds of contamination.

Our licensed, bonded and insured professionals deal with the hassles of the insurance company to make the claims process quick and painless. We bill your insurance company directly. All of our property restoration specialists are thoroughly trained in water removal and damage restoration services and we are certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

How quickly does mold start growing after basement flooding?

Mold will not grow in most cases if wet or damp materials or areas are dried 24-48 hours after a leak or spill happens. It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. In as little as 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs, mold spores can begin to colonize and form visible growth. This rapid onset emphasizes the urgency of addressing water damage promptly to prevent mold infestation.That’s why we respond immediately when you call. Mold will begin to grow when those microorganisms are exposed to water within 24-48 hours. That’s how long you’ve got to call professionals to get your property dried and disinfected. Once mold takes hold, cleanup becomes much more complex and expensive.

Is it safe to stay in my house with a flooded basement?

No it is not safe to stay in a house with a flooded basement. Besides the mold growth, insects, and rodents there is the risk of being electrocuted. Just like being in a pool during the rain is dangerous, the same concept applies to water in a basement. Water conducts electricity and stepping in can put you at risk of electrocution.If you discover that your basement has flooded, don’t try to do anything yourself in order to be safe from electrocution and contamination in the water. One of the first things you need to do when you discover any type of flooding is to disconnect your gas and electric services. Call us immediately – we have the proper safety equipment and training to handle flooded basements safely.

What causes basement flooding in Lake Grove, NY specifically?

There are a number of reasons why a basement could flood. Broken pipes, sewage backups, and surface or groundwater runoff are the most common causes. Basements in Long Island are particularly susceptible to flooding due to the high water table.Homes that are poorly insulated or that are left vacant with no furnace to regulate the heat can be a common culprit of frozen water pipes and frozen water lines in the wintertime. These breaks are also often hard to notice immediately because they most commonly occur in the basement where the heat is not as well regulated. Broken pipes can be a common cause of water damage, causing water to come flooding into your living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and more. Sprinkler pipes will often freeze and pipe bursts happen beneath the surface of the ground and cause water to come gushing into your home through window wells and even walls.

How long does professional basement cleanup take?

Depending on the damage, it takes between three and five days to get your basement in top shape again. The basement water cleanup process usually involves six steps. First, a proper water damage inspection must be done. After that, we continue with water and building material removal. Once that is done, we set up the water damage equipment, monitor how it works, and then finish with a final evaluation.The timeline depends on how much water entered your basement and what materials were affected. The faster the cleanup and drying take place, the smaller the chances of major mold growth. If you have a lot of water in the house, hiring a water damage restoration company may be your best bet to get your home back in order as fast and as cost-efficiently as possible. We monitor the drying process continuously to ensure everything is completely dry before we consider the job finished.
