Wet Drywall Water Damage Cleanup
Wet drywall is checked with a moisture meter. Lightly damp walls can be dried in place, while soaked or sagging sections are cut out above the water line.
Basement Flood Water Removal
Basement flooding often reaches furnaces, water heaters and stored boxes. Water is removed first, then wet contents are moved or discarded.
Emergency Structural Drying Services
Structural drying targets the materials water soaked into, not just the room air. Wall cavities and subfloors get directed airflow.
Flooded Carpet Water Removal
Wet carpet is lifted at the edges so air can reach the pad and subfloor. Pad that soaked up dirty water is pulled out and discarded.
Sewage Backup Water Extraction
Sewage contains bacteria and other contaminants, so it is extracted with protective gear and the affected materials are cleaned and disinfected.
