Six quick questions about the house and where the damp is showing, then your details. It takes about a minute.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2Which part of the county is the house in?

How far down the water sits under a Nassau house changes a great deal from the South Shore to the North Shore hills. Near the bays and harbors it can be close to the surface. Under much of the middle of the island and the hills it is far below the floor, so damp there usually comes from the house itself. The town is enough, and not sure is a fine answer.

Question 3What is the lowest level of the house?

A house built on a concrete slab, a house with a basement and a house over a crawl space get wet in different ways, and the fix is different for each. Many homes in this county were built on slabs with no basement at all.

Question 4Where is it showing up?

Where the damp appears is the first clue to which way the water came. Damp that starts low and spreads up points one way, and damp around a fixture, a window or a ceiling points another.

Question 5How long has this been going on?

Something that got wet in the last day or two can often still be dried. Something that has stayed damp for weeks usually cannot, and the job changes.

Question 6What would you like to happen next?

In New York the company that assesses mold and the company that removes it cannot be the same company on one job, so it helps to know where you want to start.

Local Context

Drying a leak that crosses units in a Roslyn building

A drying crew stops the damage from spreading: it extracts standing water, removes wet pad and drywall that cannot be dried, and runs dehumidifiers and air movers with readings recorded until each affected room is back to normal. In Roslyn that often means more than one home. Census estimates put 22.0 percent of the Village's housing units in buildings of twenty or more and 36.8 percent of occupied homes rented, so a burst line or overflowing fixture above can wet ceilings and walls in the units below.

A booking service, not the contractorWe arrange the job and a separately licensed New York firm carries it out, sets its own price and signs its own agreement with you.
The firm that assesses never removesState law keeps the company that writes the mold plan apart from the company that carries it out, and bars one owner from holding a stake in both on your property.
Every trade licensed and insuredEvery firm we book holds the New York license its part of the work calls for, and you can look any mold license up on the state's own open register.
Deciding

Roslyn building leaks: who books the dry out, and how fast

Mold becomes likely once wet material passes the EPA's 24 to 48 hour mark, so the question of who is responsible should not hold up the drying. Tell the building's management or your landlord in writing straight away, with the time the water started. If you rent, New York's warranty of habitability covers the areas shared with other tenants as well as your own unit. Where the water came from a neighbor's supply line, the drying still has to reach into your ceiling and wall cavities, not stop at your floor.

  1. The time it started

    Note it and share it. The drying window counts from then, whoever is paying.

  2. Every unit it reached

    Water runs down framing. The unit two floors below may be wet behind a dry looking wall.

  3. A written notice

    A dated message to the landlord or management company is the record for the repair and for anything that follows.

EPA advises that water damaged areas and items be dried within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth, and states that if wet or damp materials are dried within that window after a leak or spill, in most cases mold will not grow.

New York Real Property Law section 235-b makes every residential lease, written or oral, carry a landlord's warranty that the premises and the areas shared with other tenants are fit for human habitation and free of conditions dangerous to life, health or safety, and declares any tenant waiver of that right void, though conditions caused by the tenant's own misconduct are not a breach.

Questions

Roslyn questions about water from the unit above

The ceiling stain dried on its own. Is it over?

Maybe not. Water held in insulation, framing or the drywall behind the stain dries far more slowly than the surface. A moisture reading tells you; a dry looking ceiling does not.

Should I wait for the landlord's insurer before anything is dried?

Waiting past two days is what turns a drying job into a mold job. Report it in writing, photograph everything, and ask that drying start. We do not deal with insurers on anyone's behalf.

Next Step

Start the Roslyn dry out before the second day

Describe the rooms and the source. There is no obligation in asking.
