The Order of Work on a Fort Dodge 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 Fort Dodge
The list below covers what crews find on most visits for water extraction in Fort Dodge, IA, from burst lines to storm water.
Broken supply line
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
A failed sump pump fills a basement from the pit outward. Pumping out comes first, drying second.
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.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Fort Dodge
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.

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.
