A Ellijay Visit, Step by Step
Water moves fast through a house. This sequence gets ahead of it and then proves it is gone.
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 Ellijay Floors
Most requests for water extraction in Ellijay, GA start with one of the situations below, and most are a single room or a basement.
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.
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.
Water heater let go
A tank that fails can empty dozens of gallons into a garage, closet or basement in minutes.
Washing machine overflow
A burst fill hose or a stuck valve floods the laundry and the rooms beside it.
Keeping What Can Be Kept in Ellijay
Drywall that got wet from clean water and is dried within a few days can often stay. Insulated walls, swollen drywall and anything touched by dirty water are cut out above the waterline so the cavity can dry.

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.
