General information only
The guides, articles and answers on this Site are general information for homeowners and businesses in Schenectady County. They are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a qualified technician.
The business that performs the restoration work
Schenectady Water Damage Restoration receives calls and online requests for water damage help in Schenectady, Schenectady County and the towns around them, and connects each caller with a local independent water restoration business. That business performs the work, and it is responsible for the licenses, permits, registrations and insurance the work requires.
Schenectady Water Damage Restoration does not hold a license for the restoration work itself, does not claim one, and does not claim that its website is licensed. Any license number the business gives you is the business's to stand behind, and you can check it with the body that issued it, including the New York State Department of Labor for mold work under Labor Law Article 32. Questions about what a policy pays are for your insurer.

Prices are estimates
Price ranges are typical estimates for our service area in 2026. They are not quotes or offers. Your price is confirmed in person before any work starts.
Safety around water damage
Standing water can hide live electrical circuits: do not walk into a flooded room until power to that area is off. Sewage and floodwater (IICRC Category 3) can carry bacteria and viruses; keep children, pets and anyone with a weak immune system away, and do not handle contaminated materials without protection. Visible mold larger than a small patch should be assessed before anyone disturbs it. When in doubt, leave the area and call a professional.
Licensing, standards and insurance
Repair and reconstruction work in New York is regulated by that state's contractor licensing board. The IICRC S500 (water damage) and S520 (mold remediation) standards are industry guidance, not government licenses. Insurance coverage is decided by your insurer under your policy; nothing on this Site is a promise of coverage or of a claim outcome, and information here is a summary, not legal or insurance advice.
