What Fairfield County homeowners tell us
4.9/5
Based on 87 reviews
Trusted across Stamford and lower Fairfield County.
A pipe split behind an exterior wall during a cold snap and ran into the kitchen. They found the source fast, opened only what they had to, and dried the cavity without gutting it. The moisture logs made the insurance side simple.
Our sump pump quit in a storm and the finished basement took on several inches. The crew extracted, pulled the soaked pad, and set air movers the same night, then checked readings daily until it truly read dry.
A Nor'easter drove rain through the roof into a ceiling. They tarped it, dried the attic and drywall, and saved most of the plaster. One star off only because the first arrival ran a little behind the window they gave.
A water heater let go in our utility room and flooded across the basement floor. They dried the framing and adjacent walls properly instead of just mopping, and were clear about what needed doing and what did not.
A drain backed up into our condo and it was black water none of us wanted to touch. They contained it, disinfected everything, hauled out what could not be saved, and cleared the smell. Professional the whole way.

Real crews on real jobs in Stamford-area homes and buildings.
Coastal surge dried in a Shippan Point basement
The problem: A late-summer Nor'easter pushed Long Island Sound over the seawall and several inches of brackish water sat in a finished waterfront basement overnight, soaking the carpet, pad, and lower drywall.
What we did: Our restoration crews extracted the standing water, removed the soaked pad and cut the drywall to a dry line, disinfected the Category 3 surge water, then set air movers and dehumidifiers and tracked readings daily until the framing read dry.
Equipment: Submersible pumps, truck-mounted extraction, low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers, air movers, an antimicrobial treatment, and a moisture meter.
Outcome: The lower level dried in six days with no musty odor, the built-ins were saved, and the full loss was documented for the flood claim.
Frozen pipe split dried behind a Glenbrook wall
The problem: During a January deep freeze a copper supply line split inside an exterior wall of a 1920s colonial and ran down into the kitchen and basement before the homeowner shut the main.
What we did: Our technicians confirmed the water was off, opened a small controlled access point, and dried the wall cavity, cabinets, and basement ceiling in place with air movers and a dehumidifier rather than gutting the kitchen.
Equipment: A thermal camera to map the wet cavity, air movers, a dehumidifier, injection drying, and a moisture meter for daily readings.
Outcome: The cavity and cabinets dried in four days, the plumber made the repair from a documented dry reading, and no drywall had to be replaced.
Supply-line failure dried in a Harbor Point condo
The problem: A supply line under a kitchen sink failed on an upper floor of a downtown Harbor Point building and water ran down through the ceiling into the condo below, affecting two units over a weekend.
What we did: Working with building management after hours, our team extracted the water, opened and dried both ceilings and the shared wall, and ran containment and dehumidification so neither owner had to move out during the dry-out.
Equipment: Portable extractors, air movers, an LGR dehumidifier, containment, and a moisture meter tracked in both units.
Outcome: Both units dried in five days, the ceilings were saved except for one small section, and each owner received full documentation for their policies.

Local conditions
Water damage in Stamford plays by Fairfield County rules
A home on Long Island Sound takes storm surge and Nor'easters, an older colonial takes frozen pipes and basement flooding, and a downtown high-rise takes riser and sprinkler failures. Each one drives water into a building a way an out-of-town franchise misreads. Star Flood Cleanup & Restoration is the local team built for it. We answer 24/7, reach most of Stamford in 45 to 75 minutes, and dry your property to a verified standard so the damage stops instead of spreading behind the drywall.
Local resources we point homeowners to:
National Weather Service, New York area
Connecticut DEEP
Ready.gov, Floods
Coastal flooding and storm surge
Nor'easters and tropical systems push Long Island Sound over the seawalls in Shippan Point, the Cove, and Waterside, driving surge and wind-blown rain into waterfront basements and first floors.
River and tidal flooding
The Rippowam and Mill Rivers and a high water table near the harbor back up in heavy rain, flooding the South End and low-lying downtown blocks faster than the storm drains can clear.
Frozen and burst pipes
Hard New England winters freeze and split supply lines in exterior walls, attics, and unheated crawl spaces, and a burst line can run for hours while a home sits empty over the holidays.
Basement flooding and sump-pump failures
Stamford's older colonials and multi-families have full, often finished basements. A failed sump pump or a saturated foundation floods the lower level in a single storm.
Water heater and appliance failures
Aging water heaters, softeners, and braided washer and dishwasher hoses fail without warning, and a supply-line break can flood a room while you are at work or away.
Downtown and Harbor Point commercial losses
High-rise risers, sprinkler discharges, and rooftop and mechanical-room leaks flood offices, condos, and retail across Downtown and Harbor Point, where every hour closed is lost revenue.
FAQ
Stamford water damage questions, answered
Water in your property right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Stamford team is standing by 24/7.
(475) 264-5097 Call nowHow fast can you reach my Stamford home?
We answer 24/7 and dispatch across Stamford and lower Fairfield County, reaching most of the city in 45 to 75 minutes. Name your neighborhood or ZIP when you call and we route the nearest team.
What should I do right now while I wait?
If you can safely reach it, shut the water off at the main. Stay off wet floors and clear of outlets, move what you can off the floor, and photograph everything for your claim before cleanup starts.
My basement flooded in a storm, can you help today?
Yes. Storm and coastal flooding spreads fast through a finished basement, so call at the first water. We extract, pull soaked pad, and dry the structure to a verified standard, and we document the loss for your carrier.
A pipe froze and burst, what now?
Shut the main and call. A frozen pipe that split in an exterior wall or attic can run for hours. We thaw and stop the source, extract the water, and dry the wall cavity in place rather than gutting it wherever we can.
Do you handle coastal storm surge from the Sound?
Yes. Nor'easters and tropical systems push Long Island Sound into Shippan Point, the Cove, and Waterside. We clear the surge water, disinfect it as Category 3, and dry the structure. Note that surge is covered by flood insurance, not a standard homeowner policy.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document the loss with photos and moisture readings and bill your carrier directly for covered work, so you generally pay only your deductible. We work with every major Connecticut carrier.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Stamford?
A small cleanup runs a few hundred to about two thousand dollars. A flooded finished basement or several rooms runs into the thousands, set by the water category, how far it spread, and how long it sat. Try our cost calculator for a range.
How long does drying take?
Most homes dry in 3 to 5 days, longer for a masonry basement, old plaster, or hardwood. Fairfield County's humid air slows evaporation, so we run commercial dehumidifiers and monitor to a verified dry standard.
Which neighborhoods and ZIPs do you cover?
All of Stamford, from Shippan Point, the Cove, and Waterside through Downtown, Glenbrook, Springdale, and Ridgeway to North Stamford, plus Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, and Norwalk. Every ZIP from 06901 to 06907 is on our map.
Are you licensed and certified?
We are licensed and insured as a Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor (CT HIC #0658841), and our technicians are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration and Applied Structural Drying.
