Emergency water extraction removes standing water with pumps and extractors as fast as possible, because extraction pulls out far more water than fans or dehumidifiers can.
- Standing water across carpet, hardwood, or tile
- Soaked carpet and pad after a leak or overflow
- Water pooled in a basement or lower level
- Water trapped under flooring or behind baseboards
When to call 911 first
Call 911 first if water is in contact with electrical equipment and someone is hurt, if you smell gas, or if there is a risk of structural collapse.
