How an Extraction Visit Runs in Auburn
The visit is built around one goal: as much water out as possible in the first hours, then a measured dry.
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.
What Puts Water on Auburn Floors
The list below covers what crews find on most visits for water extraction in Auburn, WA, from burst lines to storm water.
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
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.
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.
Washing machine overflow
A burst fill hose or a stuck valve floods the laundry and the rooms beside it.
Toilet overflow
Clean tank water can be dried; water from a bowl with waste in it has to be treated as contaminated.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Auburn
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.
Not sure what can be saved? Call (866) 914-0544, say where the water came from and how long it sat, and you will hear what is likely to stay and what is likely to go.

What if water came through the ceiling from upstairs?
Stop the source above, then meter the ceiling and walls below. Sagging or soaked ceiling drywall is opened so the cavity can dry.
Is flood water or sewage handled differently?
Yes. Storm and sewage water are contaminated, so carpet and pad are removed, surfaces are cleaned and sanitized, and then the area is dried.
Why did my sump pump fail?
The usual reasons are a power outage during a storm, a stuck float switch, a clogged inlet or a pump that is simply too small for the amount of water coming in.
