Quick answer
Greenwich Village and the West Village flooded during Sandy when storm surge pushed into Lower Manhattan, and the neighborhood's old townhouses and walk-ups still take water from cellars, roofs and the unit above. Our service office is on 8th Avenue in the West Village, and we answer 24/7.
What restoration looks like in Greenwich Village
The Village is townhouses, walk-ups and prewar apartment buildings on irregular old streets, many of them landmarked. Cellars sit low, plumbing is old and plaster, brick and original floors are worth saving.
Landmark rules can shape how exterior repairs are done, so we keep interior drying and exterior covers separate and documented.
Sandy and the low streets
Sandy's surge pushed into Lower Manhattan and the West Village, flooding cellars and ground floors on the lowest streets near the Hudson. Cloudbursts do the same on a smaller scale, through floor drains and areaways.
Across the city, sewer backups alone produce an average of 12,569 complaints a year, and low cellars are where they show up first.
