Water Damage Restoration in Glen Rock, NJ

Glen Rock is one of our closest neighbors. It shares a border with Fair Lawn, a few minutes from our shop, and it’s one of the best-kept older towns in Bergen County. REA Floors provides water damage restoration in Glen Rock, NJ with the care those older houses need.

A town named for a rock

Glen Rock takes its name from the huge glacial boulder that still sits in the middle of town, and a lot of the town’s houses feel nearly as permanent: colonials, Tudors and Dutch colonials built in the 1920s through the 1940s, with plaster walls, original trim and narrow-strip oak floors. When water gets into these houses, the goal is to dry what can be saved, not tear everything out. We open only what we must and rebuild so repairs match.

Hidden leaks behind plaster

Older plumbing inside plaster walls can leak for weeks before a stain shows up on the ceiling below. By then the water has traveled. We use moisture meters to find how far it went and dry every cavity it reached, which is what keeps mold from showing up later. See water damage restoration.

Basements and big storms

Many Glen Rock basements sit on stone or block foundations and were finished decades after they were built. After days of rain, groundwater finds its way in, and the carpet, paneling and drywall soak it up. We run dehumidifiers until the masonry itself reads dry, not just the air. See flooded basement cleanup.

Floors worth keeping

Original oak is one of the best things about a Glen Rock house. Floors are our specialty: we dry hardwood slowly and evenly and refinish it instead of replacing it whenever we can.
