Quick answer
Chelsea calls range from leaks between loft units to soot and debris after nearby incidents: the July 2018 steam pipe explosion at Fifth Avenue and 21st Street forced hundreds out of nearby apartments and businesses with asbestos concerns. We dry, clean surfaces and contents and rebuild, from an office a few minutes away, answering 24/7.
What restoration looks like in Chelsea
Chelsea mixes 19th-century townhouses, converted loft and warehouse buildings, galleries and new towers. Lofts have open plans and big windows, so water and soot spread wide rather than deep; townhouses take water from roofs and cellars.
Galleries and studios add valuable contents, which is where careful pack-out and cleaning matter as much as drying.
Steam blasts and dust indoors
In July 2018 a steam pipe explosion at Fifth Avenue and 21st Street, a few blocks east of Chelsea in the Flatiron District, forced hundreds out of apartments and businesses, with asbestos concerns inside buildings. Debris and dust from events like that need testing and professional cleaning before anything is wiped.
Much of the area's housing is older, and older plumbing and roofs are behind most of the everyday water calls.
