Our Guarantee & Warranty - Marsh Water Damage New York

The Marsh Water Damage New York Guarantee

We put our name on every extraction, every dry-out, and every repair we perform in New York City, and we’ve done it that way since 2005. What that means is simple: if we tell you the job is done, it’s done. If it isn’t, we come back and make it right, at no charge, for a full year. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s printed on every work order we hand a homeowner. Tobias Reyner, Owner, put that promise in writing because he got tired of an industry where “guaranteed” meant whatever the technician felt like honoring that day. At Marsh Water Damage New York, it means exactly what it says.

What’s Covered

• Workmanship on every repair. If something we fixed fails within 365 days, we return and repair it again at no cost, no questions, no fine print.
• Written price before work begins. You see the full scope and cost in writing before we touch a wall or pull a baseboard. No estimate that balloons after demo starts.
• Professional-grade drying equipment. Every job uses commercial equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry, the same tools large commercial losses demand.
• Cleanup after the work is done. We don’t leave debris, used materials, or equipment clutter behind. The workspace is left as close to pre-loss condition as the situation allows.
• Honest scheduling and communication. We tell you when we’ll arrive, and if that changes, we call. You’re never left wondering whether anyone is coming.
• Credentialed technicians on site. Our team holds IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials, which means the person in your home has been trained to industry standards, not just hired last week.

Our Satisfaction Promise

If you’re not satisfied with the work, you don’t have to build a case or win an argument. You call us, and we come back. The 365-Day Done Right Promise includes a free second visit if the repair fails, and it’s automatic. It’s written into every work order, time-stamped and documented, so there’s never a question of whether you qualified for it. If something isn’t right, the process is straightforward: call our office, describe the issue, and we schedule a return visit at no charge. No diagnostic fee. No “well, that’s technically not covered” conversation. Tobias Reyner built this company on the idea that a restoration contractor should stand behind the work the way a neighbor would. If we told you it was fixed, and it wasn’t, that’s our problem to solve. Not yours.

That also applies to the parts and materials we supply. If a component we installed fails within the 365-day window, we handle the replacement and the labor. You’re not chasing a manufacturer’s warranty department or waiting on hold with a parts distributor. You call us, and we handle it from there.

Licensed & Insured Backing

A guarantee is only as strong as the company standing behind it, and we back our promise with the paperwork that matters. Marsh Water Damage New York is licensed and insured to perform water damage restoration, mold remediation, and storm damage restoration throughout New York City. That insurance covers your property while our team is working inside it. If something goes wrong during a job, you’re protected, not left negotiating with an uninsured contractor.

Our technicians are also credentialed through IICRC, RIA, and IFA, the restoration industry’s recognized training and certification bodies. That’s the verification that the person with a moisture meter in your wall actually understands psychrometrics (measuring the moisture in the air) and knows when a structure is genuinely dry, not just dry on the surface. Licensing and insurance aren’t the exciting part of restoration, but they’re the reason you can sleep while we work.

The Threshold Standard

Every visit from Marsh Water Damage New York follows the Threshold Standard, the verification protocol applied to every technician before they ever step onto your property:

• Background check. Every technician has passed a criminal background check before being assigned to a job.
• Identity verification. We confirm exactly who each technician is, and we send you their name and photo before the visit.
• Uniform and photo badge. The person at your door arrives in a Marsh uniform and shows a photo ID badge. Every time.
• Live communication. You can reach a real person on the phone 24/7, including holidays, because water doesn’t wait for business hours.
• Documented work. Every job is documented, from the written price up front to the time-stamped guarantee on the back end.

This is not a first-impression protocol. It’s applied to every visit, whether it’s the first time we arrive for an emergency extraction or the third time we return to check drying progress. You should always know exactly who is walking into your home.

Why a Restoration Guarantee Matters in New York

New York City housing is dense, aging, and unforgiving when water gets where it shouldn’t. A slow leak in a pre-war building in the West Village doesn’t stay contained. It travels, finds the path of least resistance, and shows up in the apartment below you. A burst pipe in a Park Slope brownstone is not a DIY project. A flooded basement in Flushing after a nor’easter isn’t something you wait out. When you hire a restoration company, you’re trusting them to stop the immediate damage, dry the structure, prevent mold, and make repairs that will hold up through the next humid summer.

If that company doesn’t guarantee the work, you’re gambling. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise removes the gamble. You know before we start what the price is, what the scope is, and what happens if something goes wrong. That’s the whole point of writing a guarantee, and it’s the only way we’ve done business since 2005.

What Happens If You Need to Use the Guarantee

Call us. That’s the first step. A live person answers, because our phone line is staffed 24/7, not routed to voicemail or a call-back queue. Tell us what’s happening, and we schedule the return visit. The free second visit is already in your work order, already documented, already waiting. You don’t have to explain yourself or justify the call. If we made a mistake or the repair didn’t hold, that’s on us, and we fix it. That’s the guarantee, and that’s what Tobias Reyner expects from every technician who carries the Marsh name.
