Our New York Locations · Where We Work
Green Restoration serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County, and Rockland County with 24/7 emergency response for water damage, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleanup, and storm damage. Our Westchester office in Mamaroneck coordinates crews across all seven coverage areas. Mold remediation is coordinated through NYS DOL-licensed Mold Remediation Contractors under NY Labor Law Article 32.
Storm History & Market Context
New York water damage restoration carries risks most markets do not share. Four named storm events since 2012 have documented FEMA loss declarations across Westchester County restoration, the five boroughs, and Rockland County. More than half the residential housing stock predates 1960, making plaster walls, original hardwood, and aging pipe systems routine factors on every loss. We coordinate Brooklyn brownstone water damage and Scarsdale mold remediation on the same dispatch system.
Storm surge reached 14 feet in Lower Manhattan and Staten Island. FEMA expanded post-Sandy flood maps still classify portions of coastal NYC and Long Island as Special Flood Hazard Areas requiring elevated remediation protocols and Category 3 sewage classification.
Ida's remnants broke the one-hour rainfall record set 11 days earlier by Henri. Flash flooding triggered FEMA to approve over $400 million in NY individual assistance for basement and ground-floor losses.
Isaias hit the NY metro on August 4, 2020 with hurricane-force gusts that toppled trees across Long Island and Westchester. MTA deployed thousands of personnel to repair widespread storm damage. Power outages stretched into the following week.
Governor Hochul declared a state of emergency for NYC, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley. JFK recorded its wettest day on record at 8.65 inches. Brooklyn, Queens, and parts of Westchester saw widespread basement and street flooding.
The January 4 bomb cyclone dropped 13 inches of snow on JFK with 50+ mph gusts and coastal flooding from Brooklyn through Long Island. Freeze-thaw cycling and ice dams produced weeks of follow-on roof and ceiling water damage.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires turned NYC skies orange and pushed the Air Quality Index past 460 on June 7, 2023, the worst recorded NYC air quality on record. HVAC systems and pre-war buildings without sealed envelopes pulled smoke and PM2.5 into living spaces, driving demand for air duct cleaning and indoor air quality remediation.

Understanding the Problem
A burst pipe in a pre-war Manhattan co-op or Brooklyn brownstone releases 4 to 8 gallons per minute. In a high-rise the loss cascades through floors before the riser shuts. In a Westchester colonial the plaster walls hold the moisture long after the surface looks dry.
Every minute counts. The first 60 minutes determine whether you have a single-room cleanup or a multi-unit insurance claim.
Water saturates plaster and subfloor within 60 minutes
In NYC humid summers, mold spores activate behind walls within 24 to 48 hours
Smoke odor bonds permanently to plaster and hardwood after 48+ hours
Restoration costs increase 40 to 60% after the first 48 hours of delay
From the first call to final walkthrough, every step is documented, insured, and owner-supervised.

Select Your Situation
Honest answers about emergency response, NYC building access, NY DOL Article 32 compliance, and insurance documentation across the five boroughs, Westchester County, and Rockland County.
We offer 24/7 emergency response with IICRC-certified crews positioned to cover all five boroughs. Target arrival is 45 to 90 minutes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Rockland County depending on traffic and building access. Rapid response is critical because water damage worsens every hour and mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours in NYC humid summers. Call (347) 783-6383 any time.
Water damage restoration in New York typically ranges from $1,500 for a single-room residential cleanup to $25,000 or more for multi-floor losses in high-rise buildings or pre-war brownstones. Pricing depends on the water category under IICRC S500 standards, square footage affected, structural drying or selective demolition requirements, building access constraints, and building age. Pre-war Manhattan co-ops and Brooklyn brownstones often require additional care for plaster walls, original hardwood, and historic finishes. We provide a written estimate on-site after moisture meter readings.
Most New York homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental damage such as burst pipe repair, appliance failures, ice dam leaks, and storm damage. Flood damage from coastal surge or tidal flooding typically requires separate flood coverage through the NFIP. For co-op and condo owners, coverage is split between your unit policy and the building master policy. Green Restoration handles direct documentation with all major insurers. We are not licensed public adjusters and do not negotiate claims on your behalf.
In New York State, mold assessment is performed by a separately licensed assessor and mold remediation is performed by a separate licensed remediation company. Green Restoration coordinates your project with NYS DOL-licensed Mold Remediation Contractor partners. When an assessment is required for your scope, we coordinate with a licensed assessor so the project moves on one timeline. This rule applies across the five boroughs, Westchester County, and Rockland County.
Yes. We handle structural cleanup, soot and odor removal, and contents restoration for fire and smoke losses across New York. Smoke odor bonds permanently to plaster and hardwood after 48+ hours, so we move quickly with HEPA air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl treatment, and selective demolition where required. Documentation is delivered in a format your insurer expects.
