Signs to look for
When to call us for emergency water removal
With local guidance, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Water is near outlets, cords or the electrical panel
With local guidance, energized water is the one hazard that can hurt someone before the damage does. From your first call, do not step into it to reach a breaker.
A ceiling is bulging, sagging or dripping
From your first call, drywall holding trapped water can weigh a great deal and can let go all at once.
The water smells foul or came from a drain
With local guidance, sewage contamination from a drain backup is a health hazard, not just a mess, and it needs different handling from clean water.
Water has reached the furnace, water heater or gas appliances
As your nearby response team helps, submerged burners, controls and connections are a combustion and gas risk as well as an equipment loss.
It is spreading to another unit or the floor below
As your nearby response team helps, water crossing into a neighbor's space or a downstairs unit adds liability and doubles the job every hour it continues.
What happens
How we handle emergency water removal
Our neighborhood response team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Live dispatch and phone guided shut off
As your nearby response team helps, a person answers, takes the address, and starts a crew immediately.
Hazard sweep before anyone enters
For a clear next step close to home, the lead technician checks for energized water, gas appliance exposure, structural sag and contamination before work begins.
Controlled relief of trapped ceiling water
With local guidance, bulging ceilings are drained deliberately at low points with catch sealed work area, rather than left to fail.
Bulk water removal with pumps
As your nearby response team helps, a submersible pump takes the depth down first, which is what makes everything after it possible, and trash pumps handle water carrying debris.
Emergency extraction from carpet and hard floors
As your nearby response team helps, once the depth is gone, truck mounted and portable extractors pull the remaining water out of flooring and pad.
Stopping the spread into dry rooms
For a clear next step close to home, plastic sealed work area barriers, floor protection and targeted extraction at the edges keep the loss inside its current boundary.
