Wet Carpet Water Extraction

Clean water in carpet is pressed out with weighted extraction tools. Because the water is clean, the carpet can often be dried and kept.

Standing Water Pump Out

Water is pumped to a drain or outside, away from the house, so it does not find its way back in.

Hard Surface Floor Drying

Hardwood is dried slowly with dehumidifiers and, where needed, drying mats that pull water from the boards without cracking them.

Ceiling Leak Water Removal

Clean water dripping through a ceiling from a pipe or fixture above is drained, and wet drywall and insulation are removed where needed.

Wall Cavity Water Extraction

Water that soaked into the bottom of walls is reached through small holes or removed baseboards, then the cavity is dried with directed airflow.
