About Genesis Water Restoration

What we do

We handle every stage of a water loss under one roof, so you only ever make one call. That starts with emergency water extraction and structural drying, and runs through mold remediation, sewage cleanup, storm damage, and burst and frozen pipe cleanup, all the way back to the way your home was before. One crew stays with the job from the first pump to the last moisture reading.

Why Brooklyn homeowners call us

Every technician is IICRC certified in water damage restoration (WRT) and applied structural drying (ASD), so the work is done to a real standard and not by guesswork. We are licensed and insured, NYC Home Improvement Contractor license number 2098447. We document the damage with photos and moisture readings and bill your insurer directly, so you can deal with the loss and not the paperwork. And the crew at your door is a real local team, not a call center in another state.

Built for Brooklyn homes and weather

We are built for the way water shows up here. Much of the borough is brownstones and rowhouses, many raised between 1870 and 1940, where cast iron drain stacks and old galvanized lines crack and split inside the walls. Below grade cellars flood first, from groundwater, from stair and window well runoff, and from the combined sewers that back up through the floor drain in a hard rain. Nor'easters and coastal surge still reach the low blocks near Jamaica Bay and the harbor, the way Hurricane Sandy did in 2012, and a deep winter freeze can split pipes in an unheated cellar overnight. We know these local patterns, and we plan our response around them so the damage gets stopped before it spreads.
