How it works
Our water extraction process step by step
01
Emergency call

02
Inspection and assessment
When we arrive, we inspect the damage with a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and boroscope inspection camera to find hidden water behind walls and under floors. We identify the water category (clean, gray, or black) and map out a extraction and drying plan. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what we'll do.

Water removal
We start extracting standing water with truck-mounted and portable units. For flooded basements Toluca Lake California, we may use submersible pumps first.
