Emergency Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation in Cornelius

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

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

Water heaters, furnaces and stored items in a flooded lower level are checked, and wet belongings are moved out first.

Standing Water Removal

Removing standing water quickly is what keeps a single wet room from turning into several.

Carpet Water Extraction Services

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