☎ Call (888) 471-9821Report the storm water
About 26.81% of the borough's area is water, and the Delaware River and Mantua Creek meet here. Heavy rain can leave water at doorways and lower levels, and floodwater picks up soil, chemicals and bacteria on the way in. That makes it a different job from a plumbing leak.

Why floodwater is treated as unsafe
Runoff crosses streets, yards and drains before it comes inside, so it carries more than rain. Anything porous that it touched is a candidate for removal, and what stays is cleaned before any equipment is set.
After the water is out
Once the pumps are done, the wet structure is dried with dehumidifiers and air movers, and daily readings decide when it is finished. Materials that cannot be cleaned are discarded and logged so the claim has a clear account.
Working with the claim
Flood coverage differs from standard homeowners coverage, so owners should read their policies. The crew records water lines, damaged goods and moisture readings to support whatever claim applies.
