Common Causes of Water Damage in NYC Buildings

From historic brownstones to new high-rises, NYC is no stranger to leaks. Here’s what we’ve responded to in the last year alone:

  • 🏢 Old Radiators & Heating Systems (Upper East Side & Brooklyn Heights)

  • 🌧️ Storm Flooding (especially in Gowanus, Lower Manhattan, and Red Hook)

  • 🔧 Burst Pipes (common in Harlem, Astoria, and Washington Heights)

  • 🧯 Sprinkler Malfunctions (especially in commercial properties like Flatiron offices or Downtown retail spaces)

  • 🪠 Backed-Up Sewage or Drainage Failures

In these situations, time is everything. Divine Moving sends experienced teams within hours to pack out, assess damage, and get your items out of harm’s way.


NYC-Specific Challenges? We Handle Them.

Water damage moves often come with complications. Our teams are NYC veterans, equipped to handle:

🚧 Building Regulations & Elevators

Many co-op and condo boards require strict COI approval before entry—even in emergencies. We’ve built relationships with hundreds of building managers and can generate and deliver building-specific COIs within an hour.

Emergency moves can’t wait. Divine trucks are compact and navigate bike lanes, loading zones, and no-standing areaswith speed and care. Our dispatchers pre-plan the route so you don’t waste time on logistics.

🛑 Hazardous Material Handling

Wet furniture, soaked drywall, and saturated boxes can develop mold within 24–48 hours. We wrap, isolate, and remove water-damaged items, preventing cross-contamination and further loss.

Sophia G., Manhattan

“My restaurant in Park Slope flooded after a weekend storm. Divine sent a full team, cleared everything out in hours, and stored our booths, tables, and supplies until repairs were done. They even helped coordinate cleanup referrals.”
