Key Emergency Water Extraction Procedures in Des Moines

Sewage Backup Cleanup

After a sewage backup, soaked porous materials are removed and hard surfaces are disinfected before drying begins.

Wet Drywall Water Removal

Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air into the cavity, which dries the studs and back of the drywall.

Burst Pipe Water Extraction

Water from a burst pipe is extracted as soon as the main is shut off, starting with the rooms where it is deepest.

Emergency Water Damage Cleanup

Emergency cleanup covers the water, the wet debris and the belongings in the way, so drying equipment can be placed right away.

Standing Water Removal

Standing water spreads under walls and into the next room. Extraction follows it until every wet floor is cleared.

Bubbling Paint or Wallpaper
