Your Local Flood Cleanup and Water Damage Restoration Experts, Serving Your Community
River flooding, sewer backups, older-home plumbing failures, water that’s been sitting behind a wall without anyone noticing. Different problems, but they all start the same way: you have to find where the water’s actually coming from. That’s where the certified restoration team at 24 Hour Flood Pros starts every job, tracking down the source before dealing with whatever damage followed.

Philadelphia’s damage risks go beyond just one bad storm. The city sits where the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers meet, and Hurricane Ida’s remnants pushed the Schuylkill to historic flood levels in 2021, devastating businesses along Manayunk’s Main Street and other riverside areas. Philadelphia’s older, combined sewer system carries both stormwater and wastewater through the same pipes in a lot of neighborhoods, and even with the city’s Green City, Clean Waters program working to cut down overflow, the heaviest storms can still push wastewater back into a basement. A lot of the city’s rowhome housing stock is decades old, which means plumbing systems that have been patched and updated over the years, sometimes several times over.
Our IICRC-certified technicians take care of water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, and mold remediation directly, all across greater Philadelphia, working as one crew from the first extraction through the final structural drying. We’re available around the clock, so if you call at midnight, you get the same response you’d get at noon.

Why Choose 24 Hour Flood Pros of Philadelphia?
24/7 Emergency Response
Water and fire damage don’t check the clock before they hit, so neither do we. We aim to reach Philadelphia properties within 45 minutes of your call, day or night. A burst pipe at 3 a.m. gets the same urgency as one called in at noon. Speed matters most in that first hour or two after water gets in, because that’s usually what decides whether a room can be dried out or whether the drywall and flooring end up getting torn out anyway. Our dispatch line is staffed around the clock rather than dumping after-hours calls to voicemail, so a technician is already on the way not long after you hang up, even during a major storm, when call volume rises across the whole city at once.
Advanced Restoration Techniques
We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and industrial dehumidifiers to find water you can’t see, not just the puddle on the floor, but what’s soaked into the walls and under the flooring. That matters in a city of older rowhomes like Philadelphia, where plumbing that’s been patched and updated over decades can hide a slow leak behind a shared wall. Rather than guessing when a space is dry, we follow IICRC drying standards and keep a running record of moisture levels in the framing, subfloor, and insulation. That documentation usually makes for a smoother insurance claim, and it helps keep mold from creeping in after the initial cleanup wraps up.
Local Restoration Experts
Between Philadelphia’s exposure to river flooding, seen clearly during Hurricane Ida in 2021, its combined sewer system, and its older rowhome housing stock, this city throws a fairly specific set of restoration problems at us, and they’re ones our technicians deal with regularly, across the city and the surrounding area. That kind of repeated experience helps us figure out what’s really going on: river water reaching a property well beyond the usual floodplain, a sewer backup during a heavy storm, or aging plumbing finally giving out in a decades-old rowhome. We know this housing stock and this infrastructure already. We’re not figuring it out for the first time on your job.
Customer-Focused Service
We document the damage and the work we do in detail, so you’ve got what you need for your insurance claim, and we explain what we find during the inspection in plain language instead of jargon. You’ll know what’s happening and when, instead of being left to guess. Whether it’s a rowhome, a riverside business, or a commercial space, we treat the job the same way. Restoration is stressful enough on its own, so our job is to handle the technical side clearly and reliably while you focus on getting things back to normal.
What Philadelphia Customers Are Saying
Schuylkill flooded our street during Ida and water got into the first floor before we could do anything about it. They had a crew out to us in Manayunk as soon as the roads cleared and started extraction right away.
Sewer backed up into our basement during a heavy storm and it wasn't pretty. They were upfront about what the cleanup would involve and didn't rush through the disinfection steps.
The old pipe behind the bathroom wall in our rowhome finally gave out after who knows how long. They found it fast and explained why it's common in a house this age.

Philadelphia Frequently Asked Questions
We aim for a 45-minute arrival window across Philadelphia and the surrounding area, and we’re available 24 hours a day, every day. That timing can shift during a major event like a hurricane or a widespread storm, when call volume spikes across the whole region at once.
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Sudden, accidental water damage from a burst pipe is usually covered, but water from a flooding river typically needs separate flood insurance, and many standard policies only cover sewer backup if a separate water backup endorsement has been added. Commercial policies work a little differently too, so it’s worth calling your provider or agent to confirm exactly what’s covered before assuming either way.
A straightforward water extraction and drying job in Philadelphia usually runs three to five days, depending on how bad the damage is. Jobs with contaminated water, river flooding, or an older rowhome’s aging plumbing can take longer. Our technicians can give you a more specific timeline once they’ve actually assessed your property.
It comes down to a few things: how big the affected area is, what kind of water is involved (a clean leak costs less to fix than a sewage backup), how much material needs to be pulled out and replaced, and what kind of drying equipment the job needs. We document the damage and the work in detail, which also helps if you’re filing an insurance claim.
If it’s safe, shut off the water supply or electricity to the affected area, and move valuables and furniture away from standing water. Take photos for your records and for any insurance claim. Stay out of standing water if there’s any chance it’s contaminated or near an electrical source, and skip the shop vac or box fan. Using those as a stand-in for professional extraction can actually push moisture into areas that are still dry.
