Water damage in Harrison
Harrison is both a town and a village with the same borders, including downtown Harrison and the hamlets of West Harrison and Purchase. Most of its homes were built from the mid 1940s through the 1950s, largely in colonial revival style, with earlier Tudor homes still standing. The Mamaroneck River's East Branch starts in north Harrison.
Homes of that age often have original copper or galvanized plumbing, older water heaters and finished basements added later, which are the usual starting points for water damage. Streets near the Mamaroneck River and its branches see more storm water.
When you send a request from Harrison, 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 Harrison 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.

What should I do before the contractor arrives?

Will my insurance cover it?
