A Murrells Inlet Visit, Step by Step
Every visit follows the same order, so nothing wet gets closed up or left behind.
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 Murrells Inlet Floors
Almost every call for water extraction in Murrells Inlet, SC traces back to one of these sources, and knowing which one shapes the whole job.
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.
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.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Murrells Inlet
Carpet soaked with clean water can usually be extracted and dried in place if it is reached quickly. The pad under it is cheap and holds water, so it is often removed. Dirty water changes that: carpet and pad touched by sewage or flood water are removed.
