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

Clean Water Removal From Flooring

Floors are dried until readings match unaffected areas, so new flooring or refinishing does not trap moisture.

Emergency Water Mitigation

Emergency mitigation focuses on what is still at risk. Belongings are moved, furniture is set on blocks and the wettest areas are extracted first.

Ceiling Leak Water Removal

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

Wet Carpet Water Extraction

Fast extraction of clean water from carpet is the main reason so much carpet can be saved after a supply line leak.

Standing Water Pump Out

Standing water from a supply line or appliance is pumped out with submersible pumps when it is more than shallow, then floors are extracted.

High Indoor Humidity

A room that feels damp or fogs windows after a leak still has wet materials releasing moisture.

Musty Odors After a Leak

A musty smell a day or two after a leak means water is still trapped in carpet, walls or subfloor.
