Water damage & mold help in White Plains, NY

White Plains is the Westchester County seat, north of New York City. Ida in 2021 overwhelmed the Bronx River and flooded basements across Westchester, and nor'easters bring heavy snow and ice dams. Many homes have finished basements, and downtown has many high-rise condos.

White Plains homes and water damage

Gedney Farms and the Highlands have 1920s–1950s homes with basements. Downtown has many high-rise condos and apartments. Many Gedney Farms and Highlands homes are 1920s–1950s colonials and Tudors with finished basements, plaster walls and older plumbing. When a sump pump fails or a sewer backs up during heavy rain, water spreads across the lower level quickly. Downtown towers share plumbing stacks, so one leak can reach several units below.

White Plains questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in White Plains?

Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of White Plains Building Department.

Does insurance cover a flooded basement in White Plains?

It depends on the source. Burst pipes are often covered, sewer backup needs an endorsement, and groundwater flooding needs flood insurance.
