Quick answer
Mold and flood cleanup in Hudson County usually starts with water from below: combined sewers that back up through basement floor drains in heavy rain, and low neighborhoods that flood in storms. We extract, remove porous materials, disinfect where sewage came in and dry to readings; national figures put sewage-contaminated water damage at about $7.50 per square foot.

What drives mold in Hudson County
About 80 percent of Hoboken flooded in Sandy after roughly 500 million gallons of surge entered the city, and street flooding there can start when rain passes about 0.8 inches an hour. The Newport waterfront in Jersey City was also hard hit, and the deepest flooding nearby was in the Shades neighborhood of Weehawken.
Hoboken, Jersey City and Weehawken share a combined sewer system, and residents have reported sewage backing up through basement floor drains during floods. That makes many Hudson County water jobs sewage jobs, which changes what can be kept and how the space is cleaned.

Working in Hudson County buildings
Brownstones and row houses with garden units flood first, and those units are often lived in. We contain the affected rooms, remove what the water reached, and show where it came in, whether the front areaway, a floor drain or the rear door, so owners can protect the unit.
In larger condo and rental buildings we coordinate with management and work unit by unit, with the same documentation for every apartment so boards, owners and insurers see a consistent file.
