In April 2026, overflow from the Clinton River caused major flooding in some Utica neighborhoods. River water is not clean water: it carries silt, debris and contamination, so wet drywall, insulation and flooring usually need to be removed rather than dried in place.
The city's public works director has said that when the river crests at 12 feet, flooding usually starts in Heritage Park and at Memorial Park on Auburn Road by City Hall and the library. If you live or work near the river, watch crest forecasts, move valuables off the floor early and know where your electrical panel and main shutoff are. After water recedes, call us before running fans or heaters, so moisture readings can guide what is saved.
How We Handle Losses in Utica
Utica properties face slow-rising river flooding as well as fast events: cloudbursts that overload sump pumps and floor drains, and deep cold that freezes pipes in exterior walls and garages. We locate the source, extract standing water, remove materials that cannot be cleaned, set drying equipment and document moisture readings so the insurance conversation starts with facts.
Mold usually follows water in Utica homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Utica usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
