Water Damage Restoration in Merrick, NY

Looking for water damage restoration in Merrick? We are a local, family-run company working out of 23 Erick Ave in Hewlett, about 8.4 miles from Merrick. Same-day service is available most days across 11566 and the neighbouring Nassau County area.

Merrick is a family-heavy South Shore community with a large stock of split-levels and expanded ranches, and a southern section of canal-front homes running down toward the bay. Households here skew toward kids and dogs, which is reflected in what we get called for.

What Merrick homes need from water damage restoration

Canal-front homes deal with a high water table year round, which means sump pump failure during a storm is the single most common cause of the calls we take. A battery backup on the pump is the cheapest insurance available here, because pump failure and power failure tend to arrive in the same weather. Below-grade drying also takes longer than an equivalent volume upstairs.

Household fans are not drying equipment. They move air but do not remove moisture from it, so water evaporates into the room and is reabsorbed by drywall, framing and insulation. Without dehumidification you can spread a contained problem into the wall cavity, which is how a one-room job becomes a four-room one.

What is included

This is what a standard job includes, and all of it is inside the number we quote you before starting.

• 24 hour emergency response
• Moisture mapping with meters and thermal imaging
• Extraction of standing and absorbed water
• Removal of unsalvageable pad and materials
• Antimicrobial treatment where the category requires it
• Daily moisture readings until dry standard is met

Typical timing is 3 to 5 days drying.
