Union City sits just west of Getty Square with rows of early-1900s two-family homes and tight driveways that limit where extraction trucks can park. Water from the nearby Nepperhan corridor or Hudson River backflow often reaches these basements first during heavy spring rains. Our crew at 73 Market Street Ste 376 reaches the neighborhood in under fifteen minutes, bringing portable pumps sized for the narrow lots common here.
Winter freezes followed by sudden thaws crack the old cast-iron lines under Union Street and adjacent blocks. We see repeated calls after January cold snaps when water migrates through stone foundations before homeowners notice. Same-day drying with air movers placed on each level keeps mold from taking hold in the humid summers typical of Westchester County.
Hastings-on-Hudson borders the area to the north, so crews sometimes stage equipment at the Yonkers Waterfront before moving uphill into Union City. This route avoids Bronx traffic backups on the Saw Mill River Parkway during rush hour.

Water Damage Restoration in 47. Union City — Local Notes
- •Stone and brick foundations from the 1910s-1930s in Union City absorb water along mortar joints during freeze-thaw cycles common in Westchester winters.
- •Narrow side streets off Nepperhan Avenue restrict full-size dehumidifier placement, so we rely on smaller stacked units and frequent moisture readings.
- •Properties near the old rail spur behind Market Street sit slightly lower, directing runoff toward rear basements after summer thunderstorms.
- •Row-house shared walls mean water can travel laterally into neighboring units, requiring coordinated drying on both sides of the property line.
