Our Flood Cleanup Process
There are no two flood cleanups in NYC that require the same mitigation steps, so the first thing we’ll do is put together a personalized mitigation plan for your residential or commercial property. Depending on the severity of the flood damage and how long it’s left unmitigated, your property may be facing more issues than water damage alone.

The Dangers of Flood Damage
Flooding can become hazardous and pose serious health risks the longer it’s left unmitigated. To avoid further damage and get your home back to its original state ASAP, call American Restoration Solutions for the best flood cleanup in NYC.
Additional Damage Caused by Flooding:
- Structural Damage: Standing flood water can result in lasting structural damage to your property. Even if the water appears to be receding on its own, it is necessary to have the situation assessed by professionals to prevent further damage. Water may be trapped in wall coverings, under flooding, and in contents, leading to mold growth, structural rot, concrete and metal erosion, etc.
- Mold Growth: Unmitigated flood damage or improper flood cleanup in NYC almost always lead to mold growth. It is very common for regrowth to occur when mold damage is not mitigated correctly, creating an unsafe living environment and posing several health risks. ARS specializes in mold remediation and flood cleanup in NYC, so no matter what stage of the water loss you’re in, we’re here to help.
- Health Problems: Being exposed to flood water can be detrimental to your health, especially if it is consumed due to likely contaminants. Knowing the categories of flood water helps us understand the severity of each category as it increases.
- Pest Infestations: Increased moisture levels often result in pest infestations. Unmitigated flood damage can lead to wood rot and mildew growth, attracting pests of all kinds.
- Electrical Damage: Water and electricity are a dangerous combination that can potentially be life-threatening. You put yourself at risk for electrocution and serious injury or death by coming into contact with wet electrical elements or electrified flood water. Water conducts electricity very well, so the best thing to do in the event of a flood is to call a professional immediately and steer clear of all moisture if possible.

Category 1:
This level of water remediation involves water that is deemed “clean” by most standards. This category usually involves water from appliances, fixtures, and pipes in most cases if they have been consistently well maintained. The affected area should often be restored to its original state when handled thoroughly and quickly with the proper tools to get the job done right. This category does not require the same steps for mitigation as categories 2 & 3, since it poses no imminent health threat. However, the longer that this category of water sits, the more likely it is to shift to the next and more worrisome category. It is imperative to take proper immediate action when it comes to water remediation to avoid further damage and expenses.
Category 2:
The water in this category is also referred to as “grey water”. Common sources of water damage that fall into this category include dishwashers, washing machines, and toilet overflow (without feces). This category includes water that has been in contact with biohazardous or chemical contaminants, promoting microbial growth. If ingested, this water can pose a serious risk of illness. Due to the potential health risks that this type of water prompts, proper remediation must follow certain standards and procedures. Carpeting is normally treated with extraction systems, and the surface underneath must be disinfected with antimicrobials to ensure the lack of bacteria.
Category 3:
Since this is the most dangerous and potentially life-threatening type of water, “black water” must be handled with extreme caution and seriousness. This water contains highly dangerous contaminates and sewage, which cannot be ignored or delayed under any circumstances. Any porous surfaces must be removed, and non-porous surfaces must undergo a rigorous cleaning process involving the use of antimicrobials and biocide. This type of water remediation requires the assessment of a third party, to confirm proper protocol execution.
Trusted Insurance Claim Professionals
Dealing with flood damage and water loss can be extremely stressful, so our priority at ARS is to make the entire process as easy as possible for you. When deciding whether or not to file a claim, take into consideration factors such as claims history, deductibles, coverage, and your ability to pay. Depending on the severity of the flood damage, it may not be in your best interest to file a claim. American Restoration Solutions provides competitive pricing and low or no-cost assessments for losses without a claim or denied claims. Regardless of insurance coverage, we are here to help. Flood insurance is different from other property losses and is typically covered by separate insurance or FEMA. If you have questions about your insurance policy and coverage, we recommend speaking with us, your broker, or a public adjuster.
