About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Ithaca, NY

America Water Damage connects property owners in New York with independent local water damage restoration contractors. We do not carry out the work ourselves. When water gets into a home or a commercial building, we take the details and put the owner in touch with a contractor who serves their area. NOAA's state climate summary for New York records that Superstorm Sandy caused a massive storm surge in New York City in October 2012, with an estimated $19 billion in damages to the city. In 2011 Hurricane Irene brought more than 18 inches of rain to the Catskills, and Tropical Storm Lee followed with more than 12 inches in the Susquehanna basin. The state has seen a large increase in 2-inch extreme precipitation events, and sea level along the coast has risen about 13 inches since 1880. That is the backdrop for water damage in New York.

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Ithaca, NY

In New York, our role is to shorten the search. We take the address and the details of the loss, then connect the owner with an independent contractor who works in that area and handles that type of damage. We do no restoration work ourselves. New York does not license home improvement contractors statewide. Licensing is local, with programs in New York City and in counties including Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. Mold is different. The Department of Labor licenses mold assessors and remediation contractors under Article 32 of the Labor Law, and the same party may not perform both the assessment and the remediation on the same property. Ask for the local license and, where mold is involved, the state mold license. Whichever contractor you speak with in Ithaca, NY, ask for a written scope and proof of insurance before agreeing to anything. Any insurance claim is handled between you and the contractor. We do not set or influence prices. The quote comes from the contractor.

Water Damage Restoration Ithaca, NY FAQs

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Ithaca, NY homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Ithaca, NY?
It depends on what caused the water and on the wording of your policy, so the only reliable answer comes from your policy documents or your insurer. As a general pattern, sudden and accidental losses such as a burst pipe or a failed appliance hose are treated differently from gradual leaks and seepage. Flood is usually handled under a separate flood policy. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, and a restoration contractor in Ithaca, NY cannot either. What you can do right away is photograph the damage and report the loss to your insurer.
Should I call my insurer or a restoration contractor first?
In most cases you can do both within the same hour, and the order matters less than acting early. Stopping the water and limiting the damage comes first, because most policies expect the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further loss. Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can and note the claim number. A contractor can then inspect the property and document the damage. Keep photographs, videos and receipts from the start, since that record supports whatever your insurer decides.
What should I do while waiting for a contractor to arrive?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source by closing the main shutoff valve. Stay out of standing water that may be in contact with electrical outlets or appliances, and switch off power to affected areas only if you can reach the panel safely. Photograph and video everything before you move it, because that record is what a claim is built on. Lift furniture and soft furnishings off wet carpet where you can, and move valuables and documents to a dry room.
How long does drying take?
There is no single answer, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises one before seeing the property. Drying time depends on how much water was involved, how long materials were wet, what they are made of and the conditions in the building. Dense materials such as hardwood, plaster and concrete release moisture more slowly than drywall or carpet. The honest measure is not the calendar but the readings. A contractor should track moisture levels regularly and keep drying until the affected materials reach a dry standard.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes. You can reach us at any hour, on any day, and we will take the details of the loss and connect you with a local contractor. It is worth being clear about what that means. Our availability covers the connection. When a contractor can attend depends on that contractor and on where the property is, so confirm timing with them directly when you speak. If there is an immediate danger, such as live electricity in contact with water or a gas smell, contact emergency services first.
