Plain-English guides written by working Parsippany technicians on water damage, mold, drying science, and getting your insurance claim approved.
Parsippany-Troy Hills sits at the intersection of two drainage systems that have flooded the same streets for decades. Understanding the geography explains why your sump pump ran all night and what to do when it is not enough.

Read more →An ice dam forms when warm attic air melts the roof snow and refreezing water backs up under the shingles. In Parsippany's split-level and colonial stock, the water that enters a roof can travel two floors before it is ever noticed.
Read more →Parsippany and portions of Morris County still have combined sewer infrastructure. When sustained rainfall overwhelms the system, the backup comes up through your basement floor drain — and it is a biohazard, not just a plumbing problem.

Read more →The split-levels, colonials, and raised ranches built across Parsippany-Troy Hills in the 1960s through 1980s respond to water differently than new construction. Plaster, original hardwood, galvanized plumbing, and older insulation all affect how long drying takes — and what can be saved.
