water damage restoration in Rotterdam Junction
Rotterdam Junction is a hamlet in Schenectady County, about 10.5 km from central Schenectady. In August 2011 the Mohawk flood put cars under water on Lock Street and washed out State Route 103 from Glenville. Schenectady Water Damage Restoration takes calls for the hamlet at any hour.
Rotterdam Junction is a separate hamlet about 10.5 km from the center of Schenectady, and it has its own record from the 2011 flood. A regional newspaper photo from 31 August 2011 shows cars submerged on Lock Street a day after the waters receded, and a December 2011 FEMA photo shows crews clearing debris from storm drains.
A call from the hamlet begins with the flood record. Water that stood on Lock Street or the Route 103 corridor leaves silt and debris behind, and the drains often hold that debris for weeks. The crew plans for the drains as well as the rooms.
The hamlet has the most detailed 2011 record in this plan: cars under water on Lock Street, the storm drains, and the road. Those are the local facts. The rest is the trade.

What did the 2011 flood do on Lock Street?
Cars were submerged on Lock Street in the August 2011 flood, and a regional newspaper photo caption dated 31 August 2011 records it a day after the waters went down. A house on that street may have taken water at a level that a cellar will still show.
The crew reads the cellar wall and floor for the wet line, and it photographs the line before cleanup, because the line marks how high the water stood.
Why did the drains need clearing?
A December 2011 FEMA photo shows crews clearing debris from storm drains in the hamlet after Irene. A blocked drain sends surface water back toward a house, and a cellar can take water through its floor drain when the drain cannot clear.
The crew checks the drain near any cellar it works in, and it records whether the drain was clear.
What happened to State Route 103?
A 2011 timeline reports that State Route 103, which runs from Glenville to Rotterdam Junction, was washed out by the Mohawk flooding. A road washed out cuts the route for equipment and for removed material, so the crew plans its access on the first call.
The road is also the route the owner may use to leave the house, so the crew notes which way is open before it sets equipment.
Who decides a flood claim here?
Your insurer decides under your policy. A river or road flood is often handled under a separate flood policy or endorsement.
A complaint about an insurer's handling goes to the New York State Department of Financial Services.
What should an owner check after a flood on Lock Street?
Check the cellar drain, the grade at the foundation and any window well, because flood debris can block them for weeks. A blocked drain is one way water comes back after the flood has gone.
Photograph the drains before they are cleared, so the record shows what was blocked and where.
What does a hamlet house with a storm drain need from the crew?
The crew checks the drain at the foot of the cellar stair and the one outside the foundation, because either can carry water in. It notes whether the drain was blocked and whether it was cleared.
The crew records the drain's condition in the file, so the owner can show the insurer what was done about it.
What does a hamlet owner keep after a Lock Street flood?
The photographs of the cars and the water line, the drain condition and the road closures near the house.
A dated note of when the water rose and fell, kept with the claim file.
One call and it gets handled.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.
