Quick answer
Basement flooding in Yonkers, NY can be deep: rivers backing up in heavy rain have left six to eight feet of water in basements near the Sprain Brook Parkway. Water from outside is contaminated, so drywall, carpet and insulation it soaked come out. We pump out, clean, dry and rebuild, answering 24/7.
What restoration looks like in Yonkers
Yonkers is a city of hills and river valleys, with apartment buildings downtown and along the Hudson and houses in the neighborhoods above. The valleys are where water collects: when the rivers rise, basements along them fill to a depth we rarely see elsewhere.
In the apartment buildings the work looks like the Bronx next door: leaks from above, steam heat and multi-unit losses. In the houses it's mostly basements, pipes and storms.
River flooding in Yonkers
In Yonkers, rivers backing up in heavy rain have left six to eight feet of water in basements near the Sprain Brook Parkway. That depth changes the job: pumping comes first and has to be done gradually, furnaces and water heaters that went under need checking before they run, and nearly everything porous in the basement is lost.
Because Yonkers borders the Bronx, jobs here are often handled by the same crew on the same day as Bronx calls.
