Water damage & mold help in Trenton, NJ
Trenton is New Jersey's capital, on the Delaware River. The river flooded neighborhoods in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and the remnants of Ida brought flash flooding in 2021. Dense blocks of rowhomes, older plumbing and basements make water damage common.

Older rowhomes have aging galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that corrode and leak inside walls.
Older sewer laterals
Older homes have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals that crack and back up.
