Water Damage Restoration in Teaneck, NJ

Teaneck is one of Bergen County’s largest towns, and much of it was built in the 1920s through the 1950s. REA Floors provides water damage restoration in Teaneck, NJ with a crew that understands those houses: their deep basements, their plaster walls and their original oak floors.

Older homes need a lighter touch

In a newer house, wet drywall gets cut out and replaced. In a 1930s Tudor, the walls may be plaster on lath, the trim may be original, and the floors are often narrow-strip oak that you can’t easily buy anymore. We dry what can be dried in place, remove only what has to go, and rebuild so the repair matches the rest of the house. Tearing out more than necessary in these homes costs you character you can’t get back.

Basements after long rains

Many Teaneck basements sit below the water table after days of rain. Groundwater comes up through the floor and the joint where the wall meets the slab, and older sump pumps can’t keep up. Our flooded basement cleanup covers pump-out, removal of wet carpet and paneling, drying and finishing the space again.

The west side and the river

The Hackensack River forms Teaneck’s western border, and homes along River Road are the most exposed in big storms. Outside water is treated as contaminated, so we sanitize as well as dry. See flood damage restoration.

Floors worth saving

Floors are our specialty. If your oak floors cupped after a leak, don’t assume they’re gone. We dry the boards and subfloor, wait for the moisture readings, and then refinish whatever can be saved.

Cedar Lane and Teaneck Road businesses

Teaneck’s two main shopping streets are full of restaurants, shops and offices in older buildings, often with apartments upstairs. A leak above a storefront usually affects both. We dry the business and the apartment together and rebuild both, so neither stays closed longer than it has to.
