Mold Removal Across Scarsdale and Southern Westchester

Scarsdale and the Bronx River headwaters and Sound Shore towns around it

Towns we cover around Scarsdale

Scarsdale, NY

Send us what you can see or smell downstairs, how the water got in and whether it has been in that space before, and we will tell you whether this is an assessment, a removal, a drying job or nothing worth paying for. That last question carries more weight in Scarsdale than almost anywhere: the drainage study the Village commissioned for the Chesterfield Road and Fox Meadow Road area found the system there surcharging in a 1-year storm, which is the rain an ordinary year brings.

Hartsdale, NY

Tell us what is happening in the lower level and we will tell you whether it needs an assessment, a removal, a drying job or nothing at all. Hartsdale is an unincorporated hamlet with no government of its own, so the permit, the floodplain determination and the record of what the storm system is doing all sit with the Town of Greenburgh, and knowing that on day one is the difference between a job that starts and a job that waits a week.

White Plains, NY

If a White Plains basement has taken water more than once, there is a document worth asking for before you spend anything on it: the City told the county that it maintains a list of flood damaged properties, and it is the only one of the eight towns we cover that does. Send us what you can see and what the room smells like, and we will tell you whether this is an assessment, a removal, a drying job or nothing worth paying for.

Harrison, NY

Ask what a Harrison basement actually needs and you will get one of four straight answers: an assessment, a removal, a drying job, or nothing. Being outside a mapped flood zone settles less here than elsewhere, because the Town-Village told the county that its current federal flood maps do not include some areas and that it plans to build a Harrison specific map identifying all the flooding sources.

Rye, NY

Tell us what reached the lower level and roughly when it arrived, and we will tell you whether the work here is an assessment, a removal, drying, or nothing at all. Rye is the one city we cover that told the county its own flood maps understate it, saying the 2007 FIRM lowered Blind Brook elevations south of Interstate 95 and that, judged against the April 2007 flooding, the older 1984 elevations were more accurate.

Mamaroneck, NY

Send us what came into the lower level and roughly when, and we will tell you whether it needs an assessment, a removal, drying or nothing. Mamaroneck is the one place we cover with two water mechanisms that can turn up in the same hour: the Village told the county that both the low lying riverine areas near the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake rivers and the Long Island Sound shoreline flood, and the Town's own list marks roads impassable during heavy rain and high tide events.

Larchmont, NY

In a village whose median house was finished in 1938, the first useful question about a damp lower level is whether it is a fault at all or simply how the house was built, and that is what we establish before anyone proposes work. Send a photograph of the wall and how far up the staining goes, and you will get a straight read: assessment, removal, drying, or nothing to do.

Coverage in Larchmont →

New Rochelle, NY

New Rochelle carries the largest repeat claim population of the eight towns we cover, 286 Repetitive Loss properties as of July 2021, and the City holds no list you can search, so the only reliable evidence about a particular house is the house. Tell us what you are seeing and how the water arrives, and we will tell you whether this is an assessment, a removal, drying, or nothing at all.

Tell us what you can see or smell, where in the house it is, and whether water has been in that space before. That last answer is the one that changes our advice most, because a space that has taken water more than once is asking a different question from a space that took it once.

Six quick questions, then your details. About half a minute.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2Where in the house is it?

These are three different faults that happen to look alike. Water in a basement has almost always come from outside the building. An attic is usually holding moisture the house made itself and could not vent. A bathroom or a closet is usually neither. Around here it is overwhelmingly the basement, and it is usually finished space, which changes what the work involves.

Question 3How did the water get in, as far as you can tell?

This is the question that decides what kind of job it is. Water that comes down a wall, water that rises through the floor, and water that comes back up a drain are three different problems with three different scopes, and the third one is not the same work as the other two whatever it looks like afterwards. Not knowing is a normal answer and is one of the things an assessment settles.

Question 4Has water got into this space before?

This is the most useful answer on the form. The drainage report the Village of Scarsdale commissioned found the storm system in the area it studied could not carry a one year storm, so water that arrives in ordinary rain is common here and is not a sign anyone did anything wrong. If it has happened before, drying it again is not the job. Finding out what is bringing it back is.

Question 5What is in the space that got wet?

What comes out of a basement is decided by what is in it, not by how bad it looks. Porous things that held water, carpet and pad, drywall, insulation and built in cabinetry, are the part that has to be cut out and replaced. Bare masonry and framing are usually cleaned and dried in place. Knowing which you have tells us the shape of the job before anyone visits.

Question 6What made you look into it today?

It changes the order things happen in, not the price. A sale or a closing has a date attached and the assessment is the step with the lead time, so we start it first.
