24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Fairhope, AL
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

Frequently asked questions
What is wrong with a sealed butt joint?
Nothing, until the sealant goes. A butted joint relies entirely on the bead in it, where a lapped joint over a flashing would still shed water with the sealant gone. At sixty-nine inches a year that difference shows up much sooner than it would in a drier place.
How many of these are there on a house?
Dozens, and that is the practical issue. Every board that does not span the whole elevation has two ends, so a wall has a joint every few feet in a staggered pattern, and all of them are the same age and were sealed at the same time by the same hand.
What is worth doing at the repair?
Dealing with the joints as a set rather than the one that failed. Where a board end has let water in, the ones beside it are the same age and in the same condition, so the sensible move is to work along the elevation rather than to patch one and come back.
