The Emergency Water Extraction Process for Millen Properties
Flooded Basement Water Removal
Lower levels dry slowly, so drying continues until the slab and walls read normal before any repairs begin.
Wet Drywall Water Removal
Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air into the cavity, which dries the studs and back of the drywall.
Emergency Flood Water Extraction
Pumping starts at the lowest point of the flooded area and continues until no standing water remains anywhere inside.
Standing Water Removal
Removing standing water quickly is what keeps a single wet room from turning into several.
Burst Pipe Water Extraction
Water from a burst pipe is extracted as soon as the main is shut off, starting with the rooms where it is deepest.

How Emergency Water Extraction Works in Millen

Photos, readings, removal lists and drying logs are organized into a report for the adjuster.
