Comprehensive Emergency Water Extraction Services in Asheville
Standing Water Removal
Standing water on any floor is pumped or extracted as soon as the source is stopped and power is made safe.
Burst Pipe Water Extraction
The burst section is noted and photographed for the plumber while the water is removed and the house is dried.
Carpet Water Extraction Services
Carpet wet from clean water and extracted quickly can often be dried and kept, which saves the cost of new carpet.
Flooded Basement Water Removal
Water heaters, furnaces and stored items in a flooded lower level are checked, and wet belongings are moved out first.
Wet Drywall Water Removal
Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air into the cavity, which dries the studs and back of the drywall.
