Water Damage Restoration in Hackensack, NJ

Hackensack packs a lot into a few square miles: the county courthouse, a major hospital, a busy downtown, and thousands of apartments. REA Floors provides water damage restoration in Hackensack, NJ for all of it, from a studio apartment on Prospect Avenue to an office floor near the courthouse, with a live operator answering 24/7.

When the leak isn’t in your unit

In a high-rise or garden apartment, the water in your kitchen ceiling often started two floors up. It runs along pipes and joists and comes out wherever it finds a gap, so the damage you see is rarely all the damage there is. We use moisture meters to trace where the water went in your unit, behind the cabinets and under the flooring, and we dry it properly so it doesn’t turn into mold. If several units are affected, we coordinate with the building.

Older houses, older plumbing

Away from the high-rises, much of Hackensack is older single and two-family homes. Many have original or patched plumbing, finished basements and hardwood under the carpet. When a pipe lets go in these houses, we extract the water, take out only what can’t be dried, and rebuild the walls and floors ourselves.

Storms and the river

The Hackensack River runs along the city’s eastern edge. Heavy storms can push water into low streets and basements, and that water comes in dirty. Our flood damage restoration crews pump it out, sanitize, dry and rebuild.

Businesses downtown

For Main Street shops, offices and medical practices, every day closed costs money. Our commercial restoration team gets the water out right away and plans the drying and repairs around your schedule.

Medical and professional offices

The area around the hospital is full of medical practices, labs and professional offices. Water in an exam room or a records room needs to be handled quickly and cleanly. We protect what stayed dry, extract and dry what didn’t, and rebuild so you can see patients again.
