What we see in Pompton Lakes.
The National Weather Service counts 97 floods on the Ramapo at Pompton Lakes since 1882, with Irene in 2011 the flood of record at 22.6 feet. Low streets such as Riveredge Drive take on water in far smaller events, so we ask exactly where in the borough you are before the crew leaves Totowa.
The homes
Homes near the lake and the rivers often keep finished lower levels a few feet above the water line, and moisture there can lead to mold in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Where a basement has flooded before, we open the wall cavities and check instead of judging by a dry-looking surface.
The ground
The Wanaque meets the Pequannock in neighboring Riverdale, the Pequannock meets the Ramapo just south of town, and the combined flow continues as the Pompton River. Flood gates at the Pompton Lake dam manage the lake level, and a wet week upstream in the Highlands sends all of that water past these streets.
The drive
Route 23 through Wayne is the direct run, about twenty minutes on a clear day. The storms that flood Pompton Lakes also close parts of that corridor, so we confirm open crossings by phone before the crew leaves Totowa.
About 20 minutes in normal traffic. Same-day emergency response holds here six days a week.

FAQ
Questions we get in Pompton Lakes.
Do you serve all of Pompton Lakes, including the Wanaque Avenue downtown and the lakefront?
Yes, all of it. the Wanaque Avenue downtown, the lakefront, the Riveredge Drive area, and every street between them sit inside our regular coverage, for emergency water calls and scheduled work alike. If your address is right at the town line, call anyway — the answer is almost always yes.
How fast can you get to Pompton Lakes in a water emergency?
Pompton Lakes is about 20 minutes from us in normal traffic, and same-day response is what we promise on emergency calls. Someone answers six days a week, asks what happened, and gives you an arrival window before we hang up.
Do you bill insurance directly for water or mold damage in Pompton Lakes?
Yes. On covered water and mold losses we bill your insurance carrier directly, so you're not fronting the full cost and waiting on reimbursement. We photograph everything before work starts, log moisture readings daily, and itemize removed materials, which is the documentation adjusters ask for. You typically pay your deductible and the rest is between us and the carrier. You don't need a claim to hire us, though. Plenty of our jobs are paid directly by the homeowner.
Why are you closed on Saturdays?
We are a Shabbat-observant business, so we close every Saturday. The rest of the week, Sunday through Friday, we answer and dispatch the same day. If water is spreading on a Saturday, shut off the main valve, cut power to the wet area at the breaker, and call us — we respond as soon as we reopen.
Do you handle fire damage and rebuilding in Pompton Lakes?
Yes. Fire and smoke cleanup and the reconstruction that follows are part of the same business as the water and mold work — one company from cleanup through rebuild, and one number: (551) 414-6202. On covered claims we handle the documentation your insurer needs for both phases.
