Anthony was amazing from the start! He was incredibly personable, informative and professional. The pricing was fair with no hidden fees. The guys who came out to perform the work were professional and courteous. All in all C&J was so great to work with. Hopefully I never need mold removed again but if I do I would 100% call them!!
UBCTS in Perkasie
I used C and J recently to perform mold remediation at a home that I was selling near Independence Road. They were very professional, can on time and completed the work on budget. They did nice work and responded quickly so that the sale of the home could go through. Excellent service.

Restoration Services We Offer
Philly Rowhomes Hide Water. Until the Damage Is Deep.
Most Philadelphia water damage calls we receive involve a basement that flooded from a combined sewer backup, especially in row homes along Frankford Avenue and Kensington corridors where cast iron drains are 80 to 100 years old.
The homeowners we hear from in Philadelphia spent days waiting on quotes from contractors who went silent, while mold was already forming behind drywall.
Philly Rowhomes Hide Water
- Combined sewer backups carry contamination into finished spaces.
- Shared plumbing in rowhomes lets water spread between units.
- Original brick and plaster hold moisture invisibly for weeks.
- Mold colonizes wet drywall and wood framing within 24 hours.
- Insurance claims weaken when documentation is delayed.

Your Property Fully Recovered
Philadelphia's dense rowhome environment requires precise water damage work. We assess every moisture pathway, including shared walls and connected drainage, before any equipment is placed.
Locate Moisture Across Shared Walls
In Philadelphia's attached rowhomes, water from a broken pipe or sewer backup travels through shared walls and flooring into adjacent units. Along corridors like Castor Avenue in the Northeast and Broad Street in South Philly, we map every wet zone using thermal imaging and moisture meters before extraction begins.Extract Water and Dry the Full Structure
We extract all visible water and deploy industrial drying equipment calibrated to materials in pre-1940 Philadelphia construction, including original hardwood, plaster, and brick. Every affected space, including basements, crawl spaces, and party walls, is monitored daily until dry.Restore Affected Spaces and Document Everything
After drying, we remove damaged materials, treat all affected surfaces with eco-friendly solutions, and prepare complete documentation for insurance. The question we get asked most in Philadelphia is whether we coordinate with insurance carriers directly. We do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does water damage restoration in Philadelphia require permits?
Drying and material removal generally do not require permits. Structural, plumbing, or electrical repairs connected to water damage may require permits through the City of Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections. We advise on requirements before any structural work begins.How long does water damage restoration take in Philadelphia?
Most residential jobs take three to seven days. Rowhouses with shared walls and pre-1940 construction can extend timelines when moisture migrates between units or into original plaster. We do not close a job until all readings confirm dryness.What affects the cost of water damage restoration in Philadelphia?
Volume of water, elapsed time, whether sewer backup is involved, and building age all factor in. Pre-1900 rowhouse construction and shared drainage systems can add scope. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.Do you handle residential and commercial water damage in Philadelphia?
Yes. We serve rowhomes, multi-family rentals, commercial buildings, offices, and property management portfolios throughout all Philadelphia neighborhoods.What warranty does C&J Environmental offer on Philadelphia water damage jobs?
Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If the work does not resolve the moisture issue, we return and fix it at no additional cost. All terms are in writing.What should I do first after water damage in Philadelphia?
If a sewer backup is involved, do not enter the space until we assess contamination levels. For pipe failures, stop the source if safe and photograph all damage. Call us immediately. Every hour the water sits adds scope and cost.
