Neighborhoods we serve
Onyx serves properties across the city. Common building types and loss concerns include:
- South Philadelphia: rowhome basements, sewer backups, older supply plumbing
- Fishtown, Kensington, Northern Liberties and Port Richmond: renovated rowhomes with finished basements and new construction with roof and window leaks
- Germantown: large older twins and singles with plaster, slate roofs and stone basements
- Manayunk and Roxborough: Schuylkill flooding and hillside water intrusion
- Northeast and West Philadelphia: twins and singles, apartment buildings, small commercial
The rowhome basement problem
Most Philadelphia water calls start in a basement. Rain overwhelms the sump or the drain, the sewer line backs up, or the water heater lets go. Because the basement shares walls with the neighbors, water that sits there is their problem too. Because it is below grade, it does not dry on its own, and by August a damp basement is a mold basement.
We extract, remove what is saturated, dry to the meter and, if you want, rebuild with materials that will handle the next storm.

Used Onyx to clean out mother in laws house after she passed. This was by [no] means a simple clear out. They did an absolutely amazing job! Job was finished when promised. I can’t say enough good things about the owner Jose and his team. Would definitely recommend this company.

★★★★★
Overall, great experience with Onyx. I’ve used Jose as a lead on multiple multi-housing projects and have always found his pricing to be competitive. He gets the job done, is honest and trustworthy and knows how to lead a team. 10/10!
