The Order of Work on a Artesia Job
Seven steps, in this order, because extraction without drying only does half the job.
Source stopped
The water feeding the room is shut off or cut off, and power to wet areas is made safe before extraction starts.
Water typed
Clean supply water, gray water from appliances and dirty storm or sewer water are handled differently, so the source is identified first.
Standing water pumped
Inches of water are pumped out with submersible pumps and hoses so extraction tools can reach the floor.
Carpet and floors extracted
Weighted extraction tools press water out of carpet and pad, and hard floors are extracted with squeegee wands.
Moisture mapped
A moisture meter and thermal camera find the wet edge under floors and inside walls, and the map is recorded.
Drying set up
Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed for the size of the wet area, with baseboards or pad removed where water is trapped.
Checked until dry
Readings are taken on each visit, and the equipment stays until materials read dry.
Water Problems We Clean Up Around Artesia
The list below covers what crews find on most visits for water extraction in Artesia, CA, from burst lines to storm water.
Burst or leaking pipe
A split pipe or failed hose puts out gallons a minute. The faster it is extracted, the more carpet and drywall survive.
Rain coming in under doors
When storm water gets in, it is pumped and extracted first, then affected materials are cleaned before drying.
Sump pump failure
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.
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.
Keeping What Can Be Kept in Artesia
What can be saved comes down to three things: how clean the water was, how long it sat and what it soaked into. Tile and sealed concrete dry easily; pad, particleboard and insulation usually do not.
Tell us the source and roughly when it started when you call (866) 914-0544. If drying in place will work, you will be told so.

How Artesia Jobs Are Handled Differently
Saves what can be saved

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.
Source first, then water
The leak is stopped before extraction, so the crew is not drying a room that is still getting wet.

Local Conditions That Shape a Artesia Job
Slab floors
On a slab floor, a leak runs wide instead of down. The wet edge under the carpet is often several feet past what you can see.
Older plumbing
In older housing stock, a corroded fitting behind a wall can leak for days before the floor shows it.
Heavy storms
Heavy storms here can push water in under doors and through window wells faster than drains can take it.

Call (866) 914-0544How much does water extraction in Artesia, CA 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. Storm or flood water is treated as dirty water, which adds cleaning and usually pad removal to the quote.
What causes a musty smell after a leak?
Trapped moisture, most often in the pad or inside a wall. Finding it with a meter and drying it out is the fix.
How quickly can mold grow after a water leak?
Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials in warm conditions. That is why extraction and drying should start as soon as possible after the leak is stopped.
Can I extract the water myself with a shop vac?
For a small spill, it helps. For soaked carpet, a basement or water under floors, it leaves most of the water in the pad and walls, which is where problems start.
