When water damage strikes your Philadelphia home or business, every minute counts. Standing water seeps into floors, walls, and furniture, causing structural damage and creating the perfect environment for mold growth within just 24-48 hours.
At Jefferson Water Damage & Restoration Philadelphia, we’ve been helping Philadelphia homeowners recover from water damages for over 10 years. Our IICRC-certified technicians respond quickly with professional-grade equipment to extract water, thoroughly dry your property, and restore it to pre-loss condition. Unlike national franchises, we’re a local Philadelphia company.
We know the unique challenges of Philly homes from century-old rowhomes in South Philly to newer construction in Northern Liberties. We understand how Philadelphia’s weather patterns, aging infrastructure, and basement flooding issues affect your property. That local expertise means faster diagnosis, more effective solutions, and a team that treats your home like it’s our own.
From emergency water extraction to complete reconstruction, we handle every phase of the restoration process. One company, one point of contact, complete peace of mind.
Fast, professional water damage restoration in Philadelphia. When flooding hits, whether from a burst pipe, appliance failure, storm damage, or sewage backup, our team arrives within 60 minutes with industrial-grade water extraction equipment. We don’t just remove visible water.
Our certified technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water behind walls and under floors. Then we deploy commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry your property completely, preventing mold growth and structural damage.
Services include:
Professional mold remediation in Philadelphia. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure and once established, it spreads quickly through your home, affecting air quality and potentially causing health issues.
Our certified mold specialists don’t just remove visible mold. We identify the moisture source, contain the affected area to prevent spread, safely remove all mold growth, and treat surfaces to help prevent recurrence. Mold can begin forming within 24–48 hours of water exposure, which is why fast action is critical.
We handle everything from small bathroom mold problems to major basement and attic mold remediation.
Services include:
Free inspection available
Complete fire damage restoration in Philadelphia. A fire leaves behind more than visible damage, smoke and soot penetrate walls, furniture, and HVAC systems, while water from firefighting efforts creates additional damage.
Our fire restoration team handles the complete recovery process: emergency board-up, water extraction, smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, and full structural repairs.
We work with your insurance company to document all damage and streamline your claim.
Services include:
Insurance claims assistance available
Full-service home remodeling and reconstruction in Philadelphia. After water or fire damage, you need more than cleanup, you need a contractor who can rebuild what was lost. That’s where we’re different from most restoration companies.
Our licensed contractors handle complete reconstruction: drywall replacement, flooring installation, painting, cabinetry, and finish work. We also offer general remodeling services for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements even without a prior disaster.
One company from damage to done means faster completion and no finger-pointing between contractors.
Services include:
Water damage doesn’t wait for a convenient time. Whether it’s 2 AM on a holiday weekend or the middle of a workday, our Philadelphia team responds fast to all types of water emergencies:
FLOODED BASEMENTS: Storm flooding, groundwater intrusion, sump pump failures, and foundation leaks. Philadelphia’s older homes and heavy rainstorms make basement flooding one of our most common emergency calls.
BURST & FROZEN PIPES: Winter pipe freezes, water heater failures, supply line breaks, and corroded plumbing. We stop the water, extract the flooding, and coordinate repairs.
SEWAGE BACKUPS: Sewer line blockages, septic system failures, and drain backups. Sewage damage requires specialized cleanup and sanitization, we handle it safely and completely.
APPLIANCE FAILURES: Washing machine floods, dishwasher leaks, refrigerator line breaks, and water heater ruptures. Even “small” appliance leaks can cause major damage if not addressed quickly.
ROOF & CEILING LEAKS: Storm damage, missing shingles, ice dams, and flashing failures. We repair the water damage and coordinate with roofers to fix the source.
HIDDEN WATER LEAKS: Not sure where the water is coming from? Our leak detection specialists use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings, even when you can’t see visible damage.
Don’t see your situation? Call us anyway. If water is involved, we can help (267) 641-0090
60-MINUTE EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Water damage gets worse every minute. While other companies schedule appointments for “sometime tomorrow,” our emergency team is dispatched immediately and arrives at your Philadelphia property within 60 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
LOCAL COMPANY, NOT A FRANCHISE: We’re not a national franchise with cookie-cutter solutions. Jefferson is a locally owned Philadelphia company with over 10 years of experience in this community. You’ll work directly with our team, not a call center in another state. That means better communication, faster decisions, and pricing that isn’t inflated by franchise fees.
IICRC CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS: Our technicians hold certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the gold standard in the restoration industry. We follow strict protocols for water extraction, structural drying, mold remediation, and fire restoration. License #70209237.
ONE COMPANY FROM DAMAGE TO DONE: Most restoration companies just do cleanup, then you’re left finding contractors for repairs. We handle everything: emergency response, water extraction, drying, mold remediation, AND complete reconstruction. One company, one point of contact, one insurance claim. No coordination headaches, no finger-pointing between contractors.
WE FIND HIDDEN LEAKS: Have water damage but don’t know where it’s coming from? Our leak detection specialists use thermal imaging cameras and professional moisture meters to locate hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings, without destructive investigation. This service alone has saved Philadelphia homeowners thousands in unnecessary demolition.

I had a fantastic experience working with Matt and his team at Jefferson on fixing a significant leak in my house. The initial assessment was very helpful, and Matt was understanding when I opted to go with another company on fixing my roof. Then, Jefferson checked parts of my ceiling and wall that were affected by the leak to see if/where there was water damage and address it, then closed everything back up and also fixed a major crack in the side of my house (both interior and exterior) that was definitely contributing to the issue. They cleaned everything and repainted (I have no idea how they found such a perfect color match for my paint — amazing!) and it all looks good as new. I’m very happy with all of their work and the rates were reasonable. I recommend them without hesitation!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough good things about Jefferson, particularly Matan, who handled our situation with exceptional care and diligence. He checked in almost daily to monitor progress, ensured the work was done to the highest standard, and worked tirelessly to get our rooms back to normal as quickly as possible. Matan made the entire process seamless and completely stress-free. He was truly a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend Jefferson enough.Posted on Google![]()

Jefferson Restoration did an amazing job fixing up the basement in our new home. We had several aspects to the project (walls, floors, windows and stairwell) that all needed to be revamped and they were able to handle it all efficiently. The PM Matt we worked with was easy to communicate with and honest as well. We had a very short timeline they were able to accomplish the job in. Pricing was fair and comparable to other companies we had gotten quotes from.Posted on Google![]()

Jefferson was hired to detect and repair a leak that had been causing problems for my landlord for years after two other failed repair jobs from other businesses. Within 15 minutes of calling them, I had a call back from the project manager, Matt to discuss the issue and plan the detection service. I can’t say enough about the professionalism of Matt and his team throughout the entire experience. They were quick to respond to any questions and schedule appointments, communicative regarding the root and fix of the problem, and were precisely on-time for all work. Keeping a reliable schedule and being minimally invasive of my work from home space was greatly appreciated. Our guest room is now drier than it has been in months and I’m pleased that they were also able to do mold remediation in such a short window of time. I’m happy with their work, efficiency, and their guarantee on the work they’ve done. I’d be happy to hire them again if the need arises. Thank you Matt and team for all of your diligence, hard work, communication, and reliability throughout this experience.Posted on Google![]()

Buckle up for a rave review! After my condo flooded earlier this summer, Jefferson was able to be on the scene doing water removal within the hour. They had the demo done in two days and the entire rebuild was done in a months time. Anyone who has dealt with flooding can attest to what a nightmare it is and Ben & team were a godsend during that stressful time. I can honestly say that hiring them was truly the silver lining of the whole situation. Working with Jefferson is for anyone who values consistency, transparency, punctuality, mom honest communication and above & beyond service. There were no surprise costs sprung on me and they went out of their way to include finishing touches just to put the cherry on top of a wonderful customer service experience! It honestly felt like white glove services compared to the typical experience myself and most people have had in the past when dealing with contractors. Furthermore, they got the work done at lighting speed without having to sacrifice quality in the slightest! Thanks to them, I don’t even have to go to pay to go to a spa anymore because Ben & his team essentially transformed my bathroom into one lol!Posted on Google![]()

Outstanding service! The team was super responsive, explained the assessment thoroughly, and took all the hassle out of dealing with insurance. Top-notch customer service and quality craftsmanship. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.Posted on Google![]()
Ryan ZallaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We had water damage to the flooring and drywall near our HVAC unit due to a leak caused by faulty installation. Dan was the best project manager ever. I must have spoken to him on the phone 20 times over the course of the restoration and the guy always answered by the second ring. He gave instant responses when we had questions or needed him. He helped us communicate with our homeowner's insurance, walked us through every step of the restoration, and made sure we were satisfied with the quality of the work. The crew was terrific and worked quickly and thoroughly. These guys are honest too -- I accidentally overpaid the final invoice by $1k and Dan called me back instantly to fix it. Water damage to your home is a stressful experience and these guys helped make our house a home again. Wouldn't hesitate to call Jefferson again, but hoping it'll be a long time until we do.Posted on Google![]()

We called Jefferson Restoration in such a stressed out situation! He immediately came out, explained how he could stabilize the situation and got my school up and running by the end of the weekend. As an educator and mom, taking care of young ones is paramount! They kept my school up and running and safe from any water damage!
