Emergency Flood Water Extraction
When floodwater gets inside, submersible pumps remove the deep water first, then extractors clear floors and carpet room by room.
Burst Pipe Water Extraction
The burst section is noted and photographed for the plumber while the water is removed and the house is dried.
Wet Drywall Water Removal
Wet insulation behind drywall is removed along with the soaked section, so the cavity can dry fully.
