FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How quickly can you start the water extraction process after I call?
We pride ourselves on rapid response times. In most cases, our team can be on-site within 60 minutes of your call in the Evansville, Henderson, and Jasper areas. We're available 24/7 for emergency water extraction services because we understand that quick action is crucial in minimizing water damage.
How long does the water extraction process typically take?
The duration of the water extraction process depends on the extent of the water damage and the size of the affected area. For a standard residential room, the initial extraction can often be completed in 2-3 hours. However, the complete drying process may take an additional 2-3 days. We use advanced equipment to speed up the process without compromising thoroughness.
Can you extract water from all types of flooring?
Yes, we have specialized equipment and techniques for extracting water from various types of flooring, including carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete. Our team is trained to handle each type of flooring carefully to prevent additional damage during the extraction process. For materials like hardwood, we use specialized drying mats to ensure thorough moisture removal.
What if there's water in my walls or ceiling?
Water can often seep into walls, ceilings, and other hidden areas. We use advanced moisture detection equipment, including infrared cameras and moisture meters, to locate hidden water pockets. Once identified, we can use minimally invasive techniques to extract this hidden water and ensure thorough drying, which helps prevent mold growth and structural damage.
Do I need to move my furniture before you start water extraction?
If it's safe to do so, moving furniture out of affected areas can speed up the process. However, we understand that this isn't always possible, especially in emergency situations. Our team is equipped to work around furniture and can even assist with moving items if necessary. For saturated furniture, we can begin the drying process on-site and offer specialized cleaning services if needed.
