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 emergencies for over 30 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 prevent recurrence. 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 30 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.
