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

Tell Us What Is Happening in Your Scarsdale Basement

Tell us what you can see or smell, where in the house it is, and whether that space has taken water before. You will get back a straight answer on whether this needs an assessment, a removal, a dry out, or nothing at all, and there is no obligation in finding out. If you rent here rather than own, say so in the message: only an owner can commission a mold project in New York, and it changes who the written plan has to be addressed to.

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.
