The Order of Work on a Summerville Job
Water moves fast through a house. This sequence gets ahead of it and then proves it is gone.
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 Summerville
The list below covers what crews find on most visits for water extraction in Summerville, SC, from burst lines to storm water.
Broken supply line
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
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.
Keeping What Can Be Kept in Summerville
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.
