Key Emergency Water Extraction Procedures in Brevard
Standing Water Removal
Standing water spreads under walls and into the next room. Extraction follows it until every wet floor is cleared.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage that backed up through drains or toilets is extracted with protective gear, and the area is contained from clean rooms.
Emergency Flood Water Extraction
Floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so extraction is followed by removal of soaked porous materials and cleaning.
Wet Drywall Water Removal
Drywall that wicked up water is checked with a meter. Lightly damp drywall can be dried in place, while soaked drywall is cut out.
Flooded Basement Water Removal
Lower levels dry slowly, so drying continues until the slab and walls read normal before any repairs begin.
