In the city where the hustle never stops, disasters happen without warning. When fire, water, or storm damage strikes your New York property, it is critical to act immediately. Zicklin Contracting believes that restoration work should serve a purpose beyond repairs; it must also give peace of mind and help preserve what matters the most to New Yorker’s.
When Disaster Strikes in the Big Apple
Each city has its own set of problems, and New York is certainly not an exception. The unique architecture of the city brings with it both advantages as well as challenges during a disaster. Every building, from pre-war brownstones in Brooklyn to luxury high-rises in Manhattan, is unique and requires specialized restoration work. The density of the metropolitan area means that damage to one structure almost always causes some sort of damage to another causing for immediate professional aid.
We have seen all kinds of disasters, from electrical fires in summer, broken pipes in freezing winters, and even flooded basements. These calamities leave an aftermath best described as nightmarish to property owners dealing with not only structural issues but health problems too, such as mold and poor air quality.
The Hidden Costs of Delayed Action
Many property owners underestimate how quickly secondary damage can develop after an initial incident. Water issues that look easy to fix can lead to a massive mold problem within two days. Smoke particles from a seemingly contained fire can continue to cause corrosion and deterioration for weeks if not properly remediated.
These effects are not just limited to the physical structure of the property. They have a direct impact on the market value which in turn can lead to higher insurance rates in the future.
