What's included
What's included in flood restoration services
Every flood restoration job is different, but here is what our standard scope covers. If your situation needs something outside this list, we'll tell you upfront before any work begins.
✓
Emergency water extraction
Truck-mounted extractors and extraction wands pull standing water from carpet, hardwood, tile, and subflooring. We work room by room until standing water is gone and materials are ready for drying.
✓
Moisture mapping and documentation
We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to map exactly where water traveled. Every reading is logged and photographed for your insurance claim.
✓
Structural drying setup
Air movers and dehumidifiers are positioned based on the moisture map. We check readings daily and adjust equipment placement until materials hit dry standard per ANSI/IICRC S500.
✓
Antimicrobial application
We apply antimicrobial solution to affected surfaces during extraction and after drying to prevent mold growth after water damage. This is standard on every job, not an add-on.
✓
Contaminated water handling
Sewage backups, toilet overflows, and storm water intrusion are Category 3. We set up containment with polyethylene sheeting, wear full PPE, remove contaminated materials, and dispose of them properly.
✓
Final moisture verification
Before we pull equipment, we verify every affected material has hit dry standard. You get a written summary of readings, equipment logs, and the work performed.
How it works
What to expect during your flood restoration
01
Emergency call and dispatch
You call (833) 321-7153 and reach a live person, day or night. We ask what flooded, how deep, and whether the water is clean or contaminated. Within minutes we dispatch the closest crew with the right equipment loaded. You get a call-back with an arrival window, usually 60 to 90 minutes.
02
Inspection and water mapping
On arrival, we walk the property with moisture meters, a thermal imaging camera, and a bore scope camera to find hidden water behind baseboards, under cabinets, and inside wall cavities. We categorize the water (Category 1 clean, 2 gray, 3 black) and document everything with photos before a single piece of equipment is placed.
03
Extraction and containment
Truck-mounted water extractors and extraction wands pull standing water from carpet, hardwood, and subflooring. For sewage backups or Category 3 water, we set up polyethylene sheeting containment, remove contaminated materials, and apply antimicrobial solution. Most residential extraction takes two to four hours.
04
Structural drying
We position air movers and dehumidifiers based on the moisture map, not guesswork. Drying typically runs three to five days for a standard room, longer for crawl spaces or saturated subflooring. We check readings daily with a hygrometer and adjust equipment placement until materials hit dry standard.
05
Final verification and repairs
Once moisture readings match dry standard, we remove equipment and provide a full documentation package for your insurance claim. If drywall, insulation, or subflooring needs replacement, we handle the repairs or coordinate with your preferred contractor. You get a written summary of everything we did.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Truck-mounted water extractor
Pulls hundreds of gallons of standing water from carpet, hardwood, and subflooring faster than portable units. Standard equipment on every flood restoration call.
Thermal imaging camera
Reveals hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and inside ceilings without tearing anything open. We use it to map the full extent of water travel.
Moisture meter and hygrometer
Measures moisture content in building materials and relative humidity in the air. We log readings daily to track drying progress and verify dry standard.
Bore scope camera
Lets us see inside wall cavities and under cabinets to find the water source and confirm whether hidden materials are wet.
Air movers and dehumidifiers
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Restoration Equipment units positioned based on the moisture map. They pull moisture out of materials and air until readings hit dry standard.
Extraction wand
Used on carpet and upholstery to pull water from fibers without damaging the material. Works alongside the truck-mounted extractor.
Real results
Before and after.
Burst pipe in Prairie Ridge kitchen
Before
A supply line failed under the kitchen sink overnight, soaking carpet in the hallway and wicking into the subflooring. Moisture readings showed 28% content in the subfloor, well above dry standard.
After
We extracted standing water, removed saturated carpet pad, and ran air movers and a dehumidifier for four days. Final readings showed 11% moisture content, within dry standard. Drywall and cabinets were saved.
Sewage backup in Old Town basement
Before
A sewer line backup pushed Category 3 water into a finished basement, soaking carpet, drywall, and a section of subflooring. The space was unusable and hazardous.
After
We contained the area, removed contaminated carpet and drywall, applied antimicrobial solution, and dried the space for six days. Final moisture readings were within dry standard and the basement was safe to rebuild.
Storm flooding in Prairie Meadows basement
Before
Three days of rain pushed water through the foundation into an unfinished basement. Standing water was two inches deep across 600 square feet, and the sump pump had failed.
After
We pumped and extracted the water, dried the concrete and framing for five days, and verified moisture readings. The basement was dry and ready for the homeowner to finish the space.
