Services

Start to finish. No matter the loss.

Emergency services, then our rebuild. One company that handles it all — from the first extraction through the last coat of paint.

01 · The emergency

Stabilize the house. Then the file.

Extraction, drying, treatment, and the insurance submission. Standing water out, the house held still, the claim documented — then the same company stays for the rebuild. Not a mitigation vendor who pumps and leaves.

02 · The house after

We do not just rebuild. We rebuild better.

Same company. Dedicated experts who saw the water. Like-for-like is the default. Better — a sealed wet room, a different floor — is a written choice while the walls are still open. No second contractor to brief.

By the numbers

Fast response. Reliable results.

SATISFACTION RATE

What happens after you call.

Two jobs, one crew. First we stabilize: extract, dry, treat, and put the insurance file together. Then we rebuild — like-for-like, or better, while the walls are still open.

01 · The emergency

Stabilize the house. Then the file.

We come in, stop the water, extract, dry, treat, and hold the house still. Photos, moisture maps, and the insurance submission run with that work — not as a second errand after the crew leaves.

02 · The house after

We do not just rebuild. We rebuild better.

Once it is dry and the bad material is out, the same crew puts the rooms back. Like-for-like is the default. Better is a choice you make in writing — while the walls are still open, on the same ticket.

Like-for-like

Floors, drywall, paint, fixtures as they were. Insurance often pays to restore what was there. This is the default.

Better

A sealed wet room, a different floor, hardware with weight. You choose it. Shield builds it. Not a second contractor who never saw the flood.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Shield water damage restoration — serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.

How fast can Shield respond to a water damage emergency in NYC?

Shield targets a 60-minute response for water damage emergencies across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Our crews are dispatched 24/7, 365 days a year, and arrive with extraction and drying equipment ready to start mitigation immediately.

Is Shield available 24 hours a day for water damage?

Yes. Shield Water Damage Restoration and Repairs is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We answer the phone live — no voicemail — and dispatch crews for night, weekend, and holiday emergencies throughout NYC.

What should I do while waiting for the water damage team to arrive?

If it is safe, shut off the main water supply for a burst pipe. Move valuables and electronics to higher ground, avoid standing water because of electrical hazards, do not use fans on sewage-contaminated water, and take photos of the damage for your insurance claim. Your safety comes first.

What do I do if a pipe bursts in my NYC apartment?

Shut off the water at the main or apartment valve if you can, then call Shield immediately. In a multi-unit building, notify building management so they can isolate the riser. Move belongings away from the leak, place buckets or towels to limit spread, and avoid electrical outlets near the water. Our team handles extraction, drying, and coordination with the building.

Does Shield work with insurance companies?

Yes. Shield works with all major insurance carriers in New York. We document damage thoroughly with moisture readings and photos, provide detailed reports, and help guide you through the claims process so nothing important is missed.

Will Shield help with my water damage insurance claim?

Yes. We provide documentation your carrier needs, including scope of damage, moisture maps, drying logs, and a written estimate. We can communicate directly with your adjuster and attend the on-site inspection when scheduled.
