How fast should water be extracted?

As soon as possible. The sooner standing water is removed, the easier it is to prevent swelling floors, damage to drywall, and mold risk.

Do you handle drying after extraction?

Yes. Extraction is step one. We can set up air movers and dehumidifiers, monitor moisture levels, and document progress until the area is dry.

Do you do reconstruction?

We focus on mitigation and drying. We don’t push reconstruction. If repairs are needed, we can coordinate with your contractor or refer you to the right next step.

Emergency Water Extraction (Step 1)

If water is pooling inside your home, minutes matter. Extraction removes standing water so floors and building materials don’t keep soaking. After that, we verify what’s still wet and start drying.

Carpet & pad extraction (where applicable)
Hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl water removal
Basement and lower-level standing water removal
Moisture checks to see how far water traveled
Drying equipment setup when needed

Common water extraction calls

Overflowing tub, sink, or toilet (clean water)
Dishwasher / fridge / washing machine leak
Burst supply line (after the water is shut off)
Wet carpet spreading into adjacent rooms
Water in a basement or crawl-adjacent area

If the water is contaminated (sewage/black water), that’s a different scope. Call and tell us what happened — we’ll be direct about fit and next steps.

What happens after extraction?

Extraction is the “stop the bleeding” step. Most problems come from what you can’t see — moisture under flooring, behind baseboards, or in drywall. We use meters (and on select jobs, thermal imaging) to map moisture and decide what can be dried safely.

If materials can be dried

Set air movers/dehumidifiers sized to the space
Daily monitoring + moisture logs
Adjust equipment as conditions change

If materials can’t be dried safely

Recommend targeted removal (only what’s needed)
Keep the plan clean and documented
Coordinate with your contractor if repairs follow

What to do right now (safe checklist)

Shut off the water source if it’s safe (main valve or fixture valve).
Avoid outlets / cords near water. If needed, turn off power at the breaker.
Move valuables and rugs away from wet areas.
Take a few quick photos for your records/insurance.
