What's included
What our water damage mitigation includes
Every mitigation job is different, but most include these core services. We'll tell you upfront what's covered and what might be an add-on, like reconstruction or mold remediation if we find it.
✓
Emergency water extraction
We remove standing water using truck-mounted and portable extraction units. For deep water, we use submersible pumps. We also extract from carpets, pads, and hardwood floors with specialized tools.
✓
Moisture detection and mapping
We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to find hidden moisture. We map the affected areas so we know exactly where to place drying equipment.
✓
Structural drying
We set up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry walls, floors, and ceilings. We monitor daily with infrared thermometers and adjust equipment until materials are dry.
✓
Antimicrobial treatment
We apply antimicrobial solution to affected surfaces to prevent mold growth. This is especially important in categories 2 and 3 water losses, like toilet overflows or sewage backups.
✓
Insurance documentation
We provide photos, moisture readings, and Xactimate estimates for your claim. We also communicate with your adjuster to help get your claim approved quickly.
How it works
Our water damage mitigation process
01
Emergency call
You call (833) 321-7153 and speak to a live dispatcher. We ask about the water source, affected areas, and any safety concerns. Within minutes, we dispatch a crew with extraction equipment and drying gear. You get a text with technician name and ETA.
02
Inspection and assessment
On arrival, we inspect the damage with moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and a boroscope inspection camera. We identify the water category (clean, gray, or black) and class of loss. You get a written scope and upfront pricing before we start.
03
Water extraction
We remove standing water using truck-mounted and portable water extraction units. For deep water, we use submersible pumps. We also extract from carpets, pads, and hardwood using specialized tools. This step typically takes 1-3 hours depending on volume.
04
Drying and dehumidification
We set up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry structural materials. Desiccant dehumidifiers handle tough jobs like crawl spaces. We monitor daily with hygrometers and infrared thermometers, adjusting equipment until readings match dry standards. Most jobs dry in 3-5 days.
05
Final verification and report
Once materials are dry, we take final moisture readings and document everything for your insurance. We provide a completion report with photos and daily logs. If any mold is found, we recommend remediation before reconstruction begins.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture meter
Used to detect moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings. Helps us map affected areas and monitor drying progress.

Reveals hidden moisture behind walls and under floors without demolition. We use it to find leaks and verify drying.
Air mover
High-velocity fans that circulate air to speed evaporation. We place them strategically to dry structural materials.
Dehumidifier
Removes moisture from the air. We use both refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers depending on the job.
Water extraction unit
Truck-mounted or portable units that remove standing water. Essential for fast extraction from carpets and hard surfaces.
Hygrometer
Measures relative humidity. We use it to monitor drying conditions and adjust equipment.
Boroscope inspection camera
Allows us to see inside walls and cavities without major demolition. Helps locate leaks and mold.
