Water damage in Ardsley
Ardsley is a village in the Town of Greenburgh, with the Saw Mill River and Sprain Brook both running through it. The Saw Mill has flooded Ardsley repeatedly: Hurricane Agnes flooded downtown in 1972, and major floods followed in 1980, 1984 and September 1999. The Army Corps of Engineers has since completed flood control work downtown.
Homes and businesses in the river corridor have the most exposure. Elsewhere in the village, water damage calls tend to involve basements, plumbing and roof leaks typical of homes from the middle of the last century.
When you send a request from Ardsley, we pass it to a local water damage restoration contractor who serves your area. They contact you, inspect the damage, take moisture readings and give you a written scope and price. You decide whether to hire them.
Before help arrives, close the main water shutoff if the water is coming from your plumbing, stay away from wet electrical areas and photograph everything. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility. Move what you can off wet floors, but leave demolition to the contractor. If the water came from a toilet, sewer or outside flooding, say so in your request, because sewage backup cleanup needs different handling.
Ask any contractor in Ardsley for a Westchester County home improvement license number, proof of insurance and a written scope that lists what will be removed and how drying will be measured. If mold is already visible, see mold remediation.
