Emergency water removal and extraction

Standing water does not wait for business hours. Extraction is the first physical step after source control: pumps and extractors pull what mopping cannot.

When to call

• Floors, basements, or crawlspaces hold standing water
• Ceilings are saturated after an upstairs failure
• Storm or backup water entered living space

Call 888-437-2001. If a pipe is still open, pair with emergency plumber.

After extraction

Moisture mapping and structural drying continue until meters support rebuild. See city pages such as Houston, Chicago, and Miami.

FAQ

Can I use a shop vac instead?

Household vacuums are not designed for sewage-category water and can be unsafe around electricity. Call for proper extraction.

How soon should extraction start?

As soon as it is safe after shutoff. Delay lets water climb wall cavities.
