Our Water Damage Services
With over 20+ years experience in the flood water damage clean up and restoration industry, our team understands the complexities of both residential and commercial water damages caused by heavy storms and flooding. Our services are designed to focus on quickly reducing rising water levels, contaminates, expediting drying efforts, and restoring your property to pre-loss condition quickly and efficiently.
FLOOD WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION YOU CAN TRUST
When a heavy storm causes flooding, the risks go far beyond a "normal" water damage. Flood and storm water, classified as Category 3 water, or "black water," is hazardous and can threaten the health and safety of occupants if not addressed immediately. At Bulldog®, we provide expert flood water clean-up services for homes and businesses in Philadelphia, Bucks County and Montgomery County, PA.
Complications After a Flood Damage
Many times flooding is accompanied by power outages, especially after heavy rainfall and storms. Our team of experts provide solutions for temporary power needed to power heavy duty extraction units used to pump standing water from inside properties. In addition to loss of power, the rate at which water is removed is factored into the extraction process to account for potential structural and foundation related issues or damages. Hydrostatic pressure can cause failures or collapse if the foundation was damaged or weakened due to higher water tables. Lastly, due to potential contamination, we work to prevent the aerosolization of particulates during the water removal phase of cleaning up a flood.
Structural Damages from Hydrostatic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure arises when water accumulates around the foundation, saturating the soil and exerting a force against the walls. This can cause bowing or cracking of foundation walls and further water intrusion. Lateral pressure is when water-saturated soil exerts immense sideways force on basement walls. Over time, this can lead to cracking, bowing, or even collapsing of walls. If walls are already weakened by age or existing cracks, the added pressure can worsen pre-existing damage, reducing the integrity of the foundation. Our expert flood water removal technicians take into account the unexpected internal lateral pressure after flooding so as to reduce potential structural damages caused by removing water too quickly.
Contaminated Water & Managing Risks
At Bulldog®, we are specialists in handling the unique challenges of flood water removal. Flood water is often times mixed with chemicals, fuel, mold and other contaminates. Before setting up drying equipment, our team ensures the area is properly sanitized, reducing the risk of spreading harmful contaminates into the air during our drying efforts. Our team uses advanced techniques and industry-approved practices to deliver fast, safe, and effective results. This is why the residents and businesses in Philadelphia, Bucks County and Montgomery County trust us over the competition.

Heavy Rains, Flood Water, Muck Out, Drying & More!
At Bulldog®️, we follow a professional, step-by-step process to safely and efficiently remove flooded basement water and restore your space. Using high-powered pumps and extractors, we remove standing water quickly to minimize damage and reduce hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls. Once the water is gone, we perform a thorough muck-out to clear away mud, silt, and debris left behind by the flood, ensuring no contaminants remain. Our team then deep-cleans the floor using specialized cleaning agents to sanitize surfaces and eliminate harmful bacteria. To dry the area, we deploy industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers, targeting hidden moisture in walls, floors, and substructures to prevent mold growth. Every step is designed to restore your basement to a safe, clean, and dry condition while protecting your home’s structural integrity.
Equipment Decontamination
Rest assured that all equipment, hoses, extractors, and tools are properly sanitized and cleaned after every flood water damage. This helps prevent cross contamination on future projects and ensures we bring only clean, safe equipment into your home or business.
Contents Inventory and Cleaning
Contents affected by flood water will most times need to be discarded. Anytime we can not adequately clean or guarantee sanitization, our recommendation will be to discard and replace. This does not mean all contents that come into contact with flood water are trash, but we do have to be careful when making that determination.
Damage to Utilities
Anytime a property has extensive water damage from a flood, utilities such as hot water heaters, HVAC systems, water filtration systems and pumps are likely to be damaged. Our team quickly helps assess and document the damages for reference in managing a flood claim through your insurance or to better help repair technicians restore your services.
As a professional water damage clean up and restoration company, we understand how to handle each type of water damage properly. Our team is able to assess the contamination level, ensure complete drying, and take the necessary steps to restore your property to pre-flood damage conditions.
