What we do

How we remove water

Extraction is the first step; drying is what makes it last.

  1. Make sure the source is stopped

    And that the area is safe to work in.

  2. Extract standing water

    From carpet, pad, hard floors and concrete.

  3. Find where else it went

    Moisture readings on walls, floors and the rooms around it.

  4. Remove what can’t dry

    Soaked pad and materials that won’t dry in place.

  5. Start drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers set right after extraction.

  6. Document

    Photos and readings from the first visit.

Insurance

Water removal and insurance

Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to stop further damage, which is what extraction does.

  • We document the loss from the first visit.
  • We prepare restoration estimates where appropriate.
  • We work with your adjuster.

Coverage depends on your policy and the cause, and your insurance company decides. We can’t promise what’s covered, but we make sure the damage is clearly documented.

Common questions

What are your hours?

We answer the phone 7 AM–9 PM, every day, including weekends. Form requests get a call back during those hours.

Should I try to remove the water myself?

Small amounts on bare concrete or hard floors can be mopped up, as long as nothing electrical is in the water. Soaked carpet, pad or water across a room needs extraction equipment.

Should I call my insurance company first?

If water is still spreading, deal with that first; most policies expect it. Then report the claim. We document from the first visit.

Does all the wet carpet have to go?

Not always. Carpet wet with clean water can often be dried and saved. The pad is commonly replaced.

What happens after the water is out?

Drying equipment runs for several days while we take readings. Once it’s dry, we can help with any repairs.
