Signs to look for
When to call us for water removal
As hidden moisture is traced, 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
As hidden moisture is traced, carpet can look dry on top while the padding underneath is completely saturated.
Stained, bulging or sagging ceiling
From the first damage clue, 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 the first damage clue, hardwood cups when it absorbs water from below and swells at the edges.
Swollen baseboards or bubbling paint
From the first damage clue, 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
As hidden moisture is traced, 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 moisture-tracing team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Emergency watchful inspection and moisture mapping
To protect nearby materials, we arrive, make the area safe, and find every wet material with moisture meters and a thermal imaging camera.
Water extraction and pump out
As hidden moisture is traced, truck mounted and portable extractors pull water out of carpet, pad and hard flooring.
Content moving, blocking and protection
To protect nearby materials, furniture gets lifted onto blocks or foam pads so legs stop wicking water and staining your floor.
Removal of unsalvageable wet materials
During the watchful inspection, wet carpet padding, saturated insulation and swollen particleboard almost never dry back to usable condition.
Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers
As hidden moisture is traced, air movers push evaporation off wet surfaces while Professional dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air.
Antimicrobial and sanitizing treatment
As hidden moisture is traced, on clean water losses an antimicrobial treatment is applied when conditions call for it, not as a routine step on every job.
