The Order of Work on a Milan 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.
Common Water Sources in Milan Homes
These are the sources behind most calls for water extraction in Milan, MI. Each one needs a slightly different approach.
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
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.
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.
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.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Milan
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.

How Milan Jobs Are Handled Differently
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.
