Water Removal Services

Broken pipes that have created a flood in your home while you were hard at work can be a nightmarish problem that gives you no time to prepare a perfect response. If leaving pets inside while you work is part of your normal routine, this can increase the traumatic feeling of what is taking place in your formerly dry home.

Homes in Downtown Dallas are often extremely modern, but broken pipes in even the newest homes can break, and when this happens, only water removal experts can make things “Like it never even happened.” Because emergencies like this happen unexpectedly, one of the best ways to protect yourself is by knowing where shut-off valves and electrical boxes are located. If a water emergency happens in your home, and you are either unsure of how, or unable, to shut off the flow of water and to also turn off the electricity, the only safe option is to call a plumber and an electrician to do these vital tasks.

When the water is no longer entering your home, we can safely assess the damage. Every home's water emergency is different, and no two are alike. The basics of water removal include removing standing water and then reducing the moisture even further. This includes wet-vacuuming carpets and air-drying cushions and paneling. In rare cases, padding can be salvaged if we are called immediately, but this is very unlikely. Most padding requires replacement, although carpeting can often be saved.

Heaters directed at damp areas of your home increase the rate of evaporation and air movers improve air circulation while open windows in warm weather or dehumidifiers in cooler weather help completely dry out your home. Your water emergency might seem to affect only your floors and the lower sections of walls, but increased humidity can damage areas of your home that are higher than the water's level.

Understanding how an emergency with water can affect your home now and in the future is essential to any water removal service.
