Water damage in Edgemont
Edgemont is an unincorporated area of the Town of Greenburgh, bordered by Scarsdale to the east and Yonkers to the south. The Bronx River Parkway runs along its eastern edge, and the Sprain Brook Parkway is its main highway. It includes the older Greenville neighborhood, first developed as summer homes for Manhattan families, along with antique colonial homes.
Many Edgemont homes are older, and basements and lower levels are where most water damage shows up. Because Edgemont is unincorporated, permits for repair work go through the Town of Greenburgh rather than a village.
When you send a request from Edgemont, 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 Edgemont 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.
