BMS CAT On-Call List – Nor’easter – September 2026

Northeast Nor’easter – Current Conditions

A powerful early-season nor’easter has stalled off the East Coast and will pound the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic through Monday. Coastal flood and high wind warnings stretch from the Outer Banks to eastern Massachusetts.

● Wind – Gusts of 50–60 mph along the coast, with gusts over 65 mph possible from New Jersey to Long Island.
● Coastal flooding – Repeated high-tide inundation and severe beach erosion, amplified by a full-moon tide running several feet above normal.
● Rain – Multiple days of heavy, wind-driven rain with a flash flood threat along the New England coast into Monday.
● Power – Outages already in the tens of thousands across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the Delmarva Peninsula.

BMS CAT teams are staged across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic – Boston, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Exton, Huntingdon Valley and Washington, D.C. – with national crews and equipment ready to surge in behind them.

Nor’easter Damage We Respond To

Days of sideways rain drive water through roofs, windows and building envelopes. Tidal flooding fills lower levels, elevator pits and mechanical rooms, and saltwater intrusion compounds the damage in coastal buildings. High winds bring downed trees, debris impact and the need for emergency board-up and roof tarping. Because mold can take hold within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion – often while power is still out – response speed matters more than anything.

Emergency Response – The First 72 Hours

• Emergency Board-Up Services – securing blown-out windows, storefronts and wind-torn openings before the next tide cycle.
• Emergency Repairs – roof tarping, shrink wrap and temporary stabilization to stop ongoing water intrusion.
• Storm Damage Repairs – wind, rain and falling-debris damage assessed, documented and repaired.
• Large Loss Disasters – national CAT crews, generators and drying equipment for campus-wide and multi-building losses.

Water, Flooding & Mold

• Water Damage Restoration – extraction and cleanup from roof leaks, wind-driven rain and tidal flooding.
• Drying & Dehumidification – structural drying of flooded lower levels, elevator pits and mechanical rooms.
• Mold Remediation & Removal – containment and removal before mold takes hold in the first 24 to 48 hours.
• Commercial Decontamination Services – saltwater intrusion, silt and contaminated floodwater in occupied facilities.
• Biohazard Cleanup – sewage backups and Category 3 water from overwhelmed municipal systems.
• HVAC Decontamination – cleaning flooded air handlers and ductwork so systems do not spread contamination at restart.

Contents, Documents & Equipment

• Document & Media Recovery – freeze-drying and restoration of soaked records, files, drawings and media.
• Packout Restoration Services – inventory, packout, off-site cleaning and secure storage while the building dries.
• Personal Effects Recovery – furnishings, textiles, electronics and personal belongings cleaned and returned.
• Commercial Cleaning Services – post-storm cleaning of interiors, debris removal and surface restoration.

Repair, Rebuild & Claims

• Commercial Construction, Residential Construction and Multi-Family Construction – reconstruction by the same team that handled the emergency work.
• Controlled Demolitions – selective demolition of saturated or unsalvageable structure.
• Insurance Restoration – documentation, scoping and direct coordination with your carrier throughout the claim.

Whether the loss is a single property or a portfolio, our commercial disaster recovery and residential disaster recovery teams handle every phase in-house. Facilities that want this locked in ahead of the next storm can also enroll in our Priority Disaster Response Program.
