Emergency Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation in Fulton

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

After extraction, the carpet is lifted so air can reach the pad and subfloor. Soaked pad is often replaced.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

Sewage that backed up through drains or toilets is extracted with protective gear, and the area is contained from clean rooms.

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.

Flooded Basement Water Removal

Lower levels dry slowly, so drying continues until the slab and walls read normal before any repairs begin.
