Emergency Water Extraction & Flood Removal in Tampa Bay

Emergency water extraction is the removal of standing water from your home or business with powerful pumps and vacuums. It is the first step after a flood, burst pipe or appliance leak. The faster water comes out, the less it soaks into floors and walls, and the lower your risk of mold.

When to call for water extraction

  • Standing water on floors after a storm, burst pipe or overflow
  • Soaked carpet or padding
  • Water from a washing machine, dishwasher, water heater or ice maker line
  • Flooding from outside water or sewage. Do not clean this up yourself.

What happens when we arrive

  1. We find and stop the water source, or tell you who to call if it needs a plumber.
  2. We check the water category: clean, gray or black water. Each one is handled differently.
  3. We extract standing water with wet vacs and extraction equipment.
  4. We measure moisture inside floors and walls with moisture meters. Dry to the eye is not dry.
  5. We set dehumidifiers and air movers and check readings until materials reach a dry standard.
  6. If drywall or carpet is too wet or contaminated to save, we remove it so mold cannot grow behind it.

Why act in the first 48 hours

The EPA says water-damaged materials should be dried within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. In Florida heat and humidity, that window is tight. Fast extraction keeps a water problem from becoming a mold problem.
