Basements don’t dry on their own
A basement is the hardest room in a house to dry. It’s below grade, poorly ventilated, and usually finished with materials that hold water — carpet pad, wood framing, fiberglass insulation, cardboard boxes. Fans from the hardware store move air around; they don’t remove the several gallons of water now sitting inside your walls.
We bring commercial extraction, LGR dehumidification and containment, and we make the call on what has to come out versus what can be dried in place. Then we monitor it daily until the readings say it’s actually dry.
Safety first
If water is near your electrical panel, furnace, or any energized equipment, do not enter the basement. Shut power off at the main only if you can reach it safely and dry, and call us from upstairs. If you can’t reach it safely, call your utility.
What we handle
- Sump pump failure and power-loss flooding
- Foundation seepage, window well and hatchway intrusion
- Storm and snowmelt flooding
- Burst pipes and water heater failures in utility rooms
- Finished basement rebuild prep — carpet, pad, drywall and insulation removal
- Antimicrobial treatment and odor control after the water is out
