Clean Water Extraction (Category 1) Methods Used in Waynesboro

Emergency Water Mitigation

Help is available any hour, because clean water that sits more than a day or two can start to break down materials and become less clean.

Ceiling Leak Water Removal

A bulging ceiling is drained through a small opening so the weight comes off before it can fall.

Appliance Leak Water Cleanup

A washer, dishwasher, refrigerator line or water heater leak is shut off, and the clean water is extracted from the floor and under nearby cabinets.

Clean Water Removal From Flooring

Clean water is removed from every type of flooring in the affected area, from carpet to tile to wood, using the method that suits each.

Hard Surface Floor Drying

Laminate and vinyl plank are checked for water trapped beneath. Planks that cupped or lifted are noted for replacement.

A new stain on the ceiling usually means clean water from a pipe or fixture above.

Furniture in Wet Areas

Step 1: Emergency Water Inspection

The source and type of water are confirmed, and the wet area is mapped with moisture meters.

Carpet, hard floors and wall bases are extracted and dried with directed airflow.
