A Orem Visit, Step by Step
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 Orem Homes
These are the sources behind most calls for water extraction in Orem, UT. Each one needs a slightly different approach.
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.
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.
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.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Orem
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.
Before anything gets torn out, describe the water and the rooms when you call (866) 914-0544. Most of the answer comes from the source and the time it has been sitting.
