How an Extraction Visit Runs in Prospect
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.
Water Problems We Clean Up Around Prospect
Most requests for water extraction in Prospect, KY 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
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.
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.
Sewer backup
Water from a floor drain or toilet that backs up is contaminated and is cleaned before drying.
AC drain overflow
A clogged condensate line can drip into ceilings and closets for weeks.
Dry It or Pull It: Deciding in Prospect
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.
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.
