Signs to look for
When to call us for emergency water removal
For a professional recovery, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Water is near outlets, cords or the electrical panel
For a professional recovery, energized water is the one hazard that can hurt someone before the damage does.
A ceiling is bulging, sagging or dripping
Through an organized response, drywall holding trapped water can weigh a great deal and can let go all at once.
The water smells foul or came from a drain
For a professional recovery, sewage contamination from a drain backup is a health hazard, not just a mess, and it needs different handling from clean water.
Water has reached the furnace, water heater or gas appliances
As each stage is completed, submerged burners, controls and connections are a combustion and gas risk as well as an equipment loss.
It is spreading to another unit or the floor below
As each stage is completed, water crossing into a neighbor's space or a downstairs unit adds liability and doubles the job every hour it continues.
What happens
How we handle emergency water removal
Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Live dispatch and phone guided shut off
As each stage is completed, a person answers, takes the address, and starts a crew immediately.
Hazard sweep before anyone enters
With a durable result in mind, the lead technician checks for energized water, gas appliance exposure, structural sag and contamination before work begins.
Controlled relief of trapped ceiling water
For a professional recovery, bulging ceilings are drained deliberately at low points with catch sealed work area, rather than left to fail.
Bulk water removal with pumps
As each stage is completed, a submersible pump takes the depth down first, which is what makes everything after it possible, and trash pumps handle water carrying debris.
Emergency extraction from carpet and hard floors
As each stage is completed, once the depth is gone, truck mounted and portable extractors pull the remaining water out of flooring and pad.
Stopping the spread into dry rooms
With a durable result in mind, plastic sealed work area barriers, floor protection and targeted extraction at the edges keep the loss inside its current boundary.
