The Bronx floods more than people expect. Blocks near the Bronx River, the Hutchinson River, Westchester Creek, and Eastchester Bay take storm surge and riverine flooding, and heavy rain overwhelms drains across the borough, pushing water into ground-floor units and cellars. AquaPro Solutions clears storm and floodwater fast and dries the structure to a verified standard, before the water and the mud it carries do lasting damage.
Floodwater is rarely clean. It picks up whatever it flows over, so we treat it as contaminated, protect your family, and clean as well as dry, then document the loss the way a flood claim needs.
What to do after storm flooding
Safety comes before cleanup with floodwater:
- Stay out of standing floodwater, especially near outlets and the panel, and have power cut if it is safe
- Do not use the building's electrical or gas until it has been checked
- Once it is safe, photograph the water line and the damage for your claim
- Move what you can to a dry level and call us to start extraction
The Ready.gov floods guidance and the local forecasts from the National Weather Service both stress getting the water out and the structure dry quickly to limit the loss.

Why parts of the Bronx flood
The borough has miles of waterfront and low-lying blocks along its rivers and bays, plus an old drainage system that heavy rain overwhelms. Throggs Neck, Country Club, Soundview, and Hunts Point sit close to the water, so a coastal storm or a river surge reaches them first, while inland blocks flood when the drains back up. Because floodwater is often contaminated and soaks deep, drying it right takes the same care as the sewer backup work we do.
Storm flooding is not a plumbing leak
Water that comes in from a storm, a river, or a tidal surge is storm and flood damage, often contaminated and widespread. A leak from a burst pipe or an apartment ceiling is clean-water damage from inside the building. Each is dried differently, so tell us where the water came from.
“A storm surge came up the block and into our ground floor near the water. AquaPro pumped it out, stripped the wet wall base, disinfected, and dried everything. They documented it all for the flood claim.”

Bronx water damage questions, answered
Storm water flooded my ground floor, what do I do?
Stay out of standing water near the electrical, have power cut if it is safe, photograph the damage once you can, and call (516) 715-5373. We pump it out, clean, and dry the structure for your flood claim.
Is storm floodwater contaminated?
Usually yes. Floodwater picks up whatever it flows over, from the street, the sewer, and the ground, so we treat it as Category 2 or 3 and clean and disinfect as well as dry, to keep your home safe.
Which parts of the Bronx flood?
Waterfront and low-lying blocks near the Bronx River, Hutchinson River, Westchester Creek, and Eastchester Bay flood first in a storm or surge, and inland blocks flood when the drains back up in heavy rain.
Does homeowner insurance cover flooding?
Storm-surge and river flooding is usually covered by separate flood insurance rather than a standard policy, while some interior water damage may be covered. We document everything so you can pursue the right claim.
How long does flood drying take?
Widespread floodwater soaks the slab, walls, and cavities, so most flood jobs take several days of controlled drying with commercial dehumidifiers and daily moisture readings before they reach a safe target.
How fast can you respond?
We answer 24/7 and stage crews during storms, reaching most of the Bronx in 60 to 90 minutes with pumps and extraction gear. Call (516) 715-5373.
