Signs to look for
When to call us for standing water removal
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
There is a dark tide line on the wall or baseboard
Room by room, that line is the wicking height.
The water has gone cloudy, gray or filmy
To help your home recover, clear water turns cloudy as it picks up soils and bacteria.
It smells sour, earthy or sweet
For a practical next step, standing water begins to smell inside about a day.

What happens
How we handle standing water removal
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Depth reading and water line marking
To help your home recover, we measure the depth and mark the perimeter on the wall.
Debris and silt screening before pumping
To help your home recover, sitting water collects grit, insulation and packaging. For a practical next step, we screen the pump intake so it keeps moving water instead of clogging halfway through.
Bulk removal with submersible pumps
Room by room, pumps take the volume down to roughly an inch quickly. After you describe the problem, getting depth to zero stops every material in the room from absorbing more.
Puddle pump and squeegee finish
For a practical next step, a low suction puddle pump and a squeegee work the final half inch toward a low point.
Extraction of what the pool soaked into
After you describe the problem, a truck mounted extractor pulls water back out of carpet, carpet padding and hard floor seams using slow weighted passes.
Checking below floor and inside wall voids
To help your home recover, water fills voids.

After you describe the problem, clean water is the cheapest case.Debris and silt in the water

Common questions
Questions about standing water removal
How deep does standing water have to be before I need a professional?
After you describe the problem, depth is only part of it. After you describe the problem, anything over about an inch needs a pump.
Is it safe to walk through standing water in my house?
After you describe the problem, not until power to that area is off and you know the water is clean.
How long can water sit before it becomes a health problem?
For a practical next step, clean water generally starts shifting toward gray water within 24 to 48 hours as bacteria multiply in it.
Can I remove standing water with a shop vacuum?
Room by room, for a small shallow spill on a hard floor, yes. For a practical next step, a shop vacuum holds a few gallons and has no lift, so it is not realistic past an inch of depth or across a room.
How much does standing water removal cost?
After you describe the problem, as a national estimate, a pump out and extraction in one room commonly runs $350 to $1,200.
For a practical next step, the water is gone now. Do I still need anything?
After you describe the problem, probably yes. Room by room, removing the pool removes free water, but the wall bases, padding and subfloor around it are still holding bound moisture.
Why do you keep measuring after the water is out?
For a practical next step, because dry is a number, not an opinion. After you describe the problem, we read the same marked points every visit and compare them to a dry standard in an unaffected part of the building.
