ManhattanShort answer
Lower Manhattan sees two kinds of water: ordinary leaks in towers and lofts, such as supply lines, sprinklers and the unit above, and flood water from the harbor in a major storm. Stop the source if you can, keep clear of wet electrical rooms, and call. Basements and ground floors here flood first.

Local conditions
The harbor reached these streets in Sandy
Lower Manhattan sits at the edge of the harbor, and when Sandy pushed a record surge into the city, its basements, lobbies and electrical rooms took the water. Most jobs today are smaller, but buildings here still plan around that risk.
What that means on a job: after a storm we confirm the power to basements and mechanical rooms is off before anyone goes in, treat harbor water as contaminated, and record flood damage separately from wind and rain damage, because the insurers handle them as different losses.
During Sandy the water level at The Battery reached a record 13.88 feet, and water poured into Lower Manhattan, flooding Battery Park City, the East Village and the area near Ground Zero.

Where the work happens in Lower Manhattan
In Battery Park City and the Financial District, towers and converted office buildings bring sprinkler and supply line leaks that cross floors, plus flooded basements and mechanical rooms in big storms. We coordinate with building management and work around residents and tenants.
In the East Village and the Lower East Side, walk-ups and tenements bring ceiling leaks, radiator leaks and smoke from fires in neighboring units, along with mold in bathrooms and closets on cold walls.
