Why Gotham Home Services
When a storm damages your home, Gotham Home Services is ready to help across Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. We handle the emergency and the rebuild: securing the property, tarping damaged roofs, extracting water, drying out affected rooms, removing debris, and repairing what the storm broke. Our dispatch confirms crew availability and the next safe step before anyone arrives, and we can document the damage with photos and notes you can share with your insurance carrier. Call (516) 348-5145 or request service online — every storm job is quoted on request, with no surprises.
What we handle
From first tarp to final repair
A storm rarely stops at the roofline. Water follows the opening, wind finds the next weak point, and the damage spreads until it is stopped. We stabilize the property first, then repair it properly — one crew, one point of contact, one quote on request.
Water extraction & structural drying
Pumping and extracting standing water, then running drying equipment until moisture readings confirm the space is dry.
Debris & fallen-branch cleanup
Clearing storm debris from roofs, yards and entries so repairs can start on a safe, accessible site.
Interior repairs & rebuilding
Replacing damaged drywall, flooring, trim and exterior components to restore the rooms the storm affected.
Temporary weatherproofing
Sealing windows, doors and penetrations so rain and wind stay out between the emergency and the full repair.
Moisture checks & insurance documentation
Photo and written records of the damage, plus moisture readings, that you can share with your insurance carrier.
Emergency work
Storm damage is time-critical work
Call dispatch and we confirm crew availability, access to the property, and the next safe step before anyone arrives. If anyone is in danger, contact emergency services or your utility first.

How it works
Our storm response process
1. Call dispatch
Tell us what the storm did. Dispatch confirms crew availability, access to the property, and the next safe step before anyone arrives.
2. Safety assessment
We check for electrical hazards, structural instability and water where it should not be, and make the site safe to work in.
3. Stabilize & protect
Tarping, board-up, extraction and drying stop the damage from spreading while the repair plan is prepared and quoted.
4. Repair & document
Repairs restore the property, and the photo and written records you need for your insurance carrier are ready to share.

Common questions
Before you book
Which areas do you cover for storm damage?
We serve Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island, including Nassau County communities. Dispatch confirms crew availability and property access before a storm crew is sent, so you know exactly what is happening next.
What should I do right after a storm damages my home?
Stay away from downed power lines and anything electrical that got wet. If you smell gas, leave the property and contact emergency services or your utility. Once everyone is safe, call our dispatch line and we will confirm the next safe step.
Can you document the damage for my insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage, record what was affected, and take moisture readings during drying. You can share that documentation with your insurance carrier, though claim outcomes are determined by you and your carrier.
Do you handle both the emergency and the repairs?
Yes. The same team stabilizes the property — tarping, board-up, water extraction and drying — and then carries out the repairs, so you are not coordinating a separate emergency crew and a separate contractor.
How do you dry a home after storm flooding?
We extract standing water first, then run drying and dehumidification equipment until moisture readings confirm the affected materials are dry. Drying continues until readings check out, not for an arbitrary number of days.
How much does storm damage service cost?
Every storm job is different, so we do not publish prices. Describe the damage to dispatch and request a quote — we price the work once we know the scope, with no surprises.
