Signs to look for
When to call us for water removal
With clear direction, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Carpet that squishes or feels cool underfoot
With clear direction, carpet can look dry on top while the padding underneath is completely saturated.
Stained, bulging or sagging ceiling
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a brown ring on a ceiling means water has already passed through the drywall from above.
Floors that cup, buckle or lift at the seams
From cleanup toward a fresh start, hardwood cups when it absorbs water from below and swells at the edges.
Swollen baseboards or bubbling paint
From cleanup toward a fresh start, drywall wicks water upward like a paper towel, often a foot or more above the water line.
A musty or earthy smell that will not clear
With clear direction, that smell is the byproduct of microbial growth on damp material, and it usually appears before you can see anything.
What happens
How we handle water removal
Our guided-recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Emergency guided review and moisture mapping
As the property gets back on track, we arrive, make the area safe, and find every wet material with moisture meters and a thermal imaging camera.
Water extraction and pump out
With clear direction, truck mounted and portable extractors pull water out of carpet, pad and hard flooring.
Content moving, blocking and protection
As the property gets back on track, furniture gets lifted onto blocks or foam pads so legs stop wicking water and staining your floor.
Removal of unsalvageable wet materials
For a smoother recovery, wet carpet padding, saturated insulation and swollen particleboard almost never dry back to usable condition.
Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers
With clear direction, air movers push evaporation off wet surfaces while Professional dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air.
Antimicrobial and sanitizing treatment
With clear direction, on clean water losses an antimicrobial treatment is applied when conditions call for it, not as a routine step on every job.
