Emergency Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation in Edison
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.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
After a sewage backup, soaked porous materials are removed and hard surfaces are disinfected before drying begins.
Carpet Water Extraction Services
After extraction, the carpet is lifted so air can reach the pad and subfloor. Soaked pad is often replaced.
Emergency Flood Water Extraction
Floodwater from outside is treated as contaminated, so extraction is followed by removal of soaked porous materials and cleaning.
Standing Water Removal
Standing water spreads under walls and into the next room. Extraction follows it until every wet floor is cleared.
