The Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Process for Properties in East Riverdale

Standing Water Pump Out

Pumping removes deep water quickly and keeps it from wicking higher into walls and cabinets while extraction gets under way.

Appliance Leak Water Cleanup

Clean appliance water dried quickly usually leaves cabinets and flooring in good shape. Readings confirm when the area is dry.

Ceiling Leak Water Removal

A bulging ceiling is drained through a small opening so the weight comes off before it can fall.

Clean Water Removal From Flooring

Water is followed under baseboards and thresholds into nearby rooms, so no wet flooring is missed.

Emergency Water Mitigation

Help is available any hour, because clean water that sits more than a day or two can start to break down materials and become less clean.
