Emergency Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation in Fort Myers Shores
Emergency Flood Water Extraction
Pumping starts at the lowest point of the flooded area and continues until no standing water remains anywhere inside.
Carpet Water Extraction Services
After extraction, the carpet is lifted so air can reach the pad and subfloor. Soaked pad is often replaced.
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.
Wet Drywall Water Removal
Drywall that wicked up water is checked with a meter. Lightly damp drywall can be dried in place, while soaked drywall is cut out.
