Extraction only
One job: getting water out of homes and drying them properly.
One Job: Getting the Water Out
We handle one job: getting water out of homes and drying them. Every job starts with the source, moves to pumping and extraction, and ends when the moisture meter says the walls and floors are dry, whether the water came from a burst pipe, a water heater, a washer hose or a storm.
The Work We Handle
Standing water pump-out
Inches of water in a basement, garage or room pumped out with submersible pumps before extraction starts.

The first hours decide how much gets saved.
Water keeps moving into carpet pad, drywall and subfloor until it is pulled out. Fast extraction and the right drying equipment often save carpet, floors and walls that would otherwise be torn out.
Answered at any hour
Leaks happen at night and on holidays. The phone is answered and a crew is lined up whenever the water starts.
Dry is measured
Readings are taken on walls and floors at every visit, so equipment comes out when the house is dry, not when the calendar says so.
Source first, then water
The leak is stopped before extraction, so the crew is not drying a room that is still getting wet.
Saves what can be saved
Carpet, floors and walls are dried in place when the readings and the water type allow it, instead of being torn out by default.
What Extraction Usually Costs
For water extraction, most homeowners pay an estimated $1,200 to $4,000 including drying. Small one-room leaks are estimated at $300 to $1,200, and large losses with dirty water at $4,000 to $12,000.

Leaks and Floods We Clean Up Every Week
Burst or leaking pipe
Clean water from a supply line spreads fast. Shut the main, then extraction and drying can save most of the room.
Storm water inside
Water from outside carries soil and debris, so it is treated as dirty water and wet pad is usually removed.
Flooded basement
Inches of water in a basement are pumped out first, then carpet, drywall and stored items are dealt with.
Dishwasher or ice maker leak
Slow leaks under cabinets soak the subfloor and toe kicks before anyone notices.
Leak from upstairs
Water from a bathroom or unit above soaks the ceiling, walls and carpet on the floor below.
Wet carpet that smells
A musty smell means the pad underneath is still wet and needs extraction or removal.
Water under hard floors
Laminate, vinyl plank and hardwood trap water underneath, where it cannot dry on its own.
Sewer backup
Water from a floor drain or toilet that backs up is contaminated and is cleaned before drying.
AC drain overflow
A clogged condensate line can drip into ceilings and closets for weeks.

Call (866) 914-0544How much does water extraction cost?
Most jobs cost an estimated $1,200 to $4,000 including drying. A one-room leak is estimated at $300 to $1,200, and large losses with dirty water at $4,000 to $12,000. Whatever the source, the price is agreed in writing before the drying starts.
How long does water extraction take?
Pumping and extraction usually take a few hours for a room or a basement. Drying afterwards typically runs three to five days with air movers and dehumidifiers, checked with a meter each visit.
What should I do first when water is on the floor?
Shut off the water at the main valve, turn off power to wet rooms at the breaker, move what you can off the floor, take photos, and call for extraction.
Can wet carpet be saved?
Often, yes, if the water was clean and it is extracted within a day or two. The pad underneath is usually replaced because it holds water. Carpet soaked by sewage or flood water is removed.
How do I get water out of a flooded basement?
Make sure the power is off, then pump out standing water with submersible pumps. After that, carpet and floors are extracted and drying equipment is set up.
